Plaster mite, flour mite, dust mite, mould mite, clover mite, psocids, book lice. These, and many other, types of mite and psocid are a common pest in peoples homes and also businesses. A very common search on google is 'What are these tiny mites in my house', so rest assured, you are not alone in being infested by mites!
At first, people start to wonder were all the 'dust' is coming from on a side board in a kitchen, or maybe its a polished surface in a bedroom. They clean up the dust, then an hour later, the tiny specks reappear!
Then, as people start to look closer, they realise that these tiny specks are actually moving! They're ALIIIIIIVE!!!
Usually the person with the tiny insect mite infestation starts to panic. The cleaning regime is stepped up. Bleach is used, but still the tiny mites reappear! Then insecticides like fly sprays or ant powders might be used (this is really bad for everyone involved and won't work!) and low and behold, the mites or psocids still keep coming.
It's usually at this point that people will call the Pest Interceptors or other pest control companies.
Whether it is psocids or some type of mite, the best treatment is to find what their food source is. When you take the food source away, the psocids, or mites, will disappear shortly afterwards.
Sometimes the mite infestation can be cured by using dehumidifiers or heat. Sometimes specific insecticides can be used against psocids and mites. But the first thing to do is to find the food/breeding source, remove it, and hey presto, mites are gone.
This advice is great when the food source of the mites is taken away. For example, with Flour Mites, if we remove the infested flour, the flour mites will die out shortly afterwards. But, say with, Plaster Mites, it will require a different pest control treatment for these plaster mites, after all, you are unlikely to want to remove all the new plaster from the house, that the plaster mites are feeding from. In the case of plaster mites, we need to remove the food source in a different way. Plaster mites feed on microscopic mould/fungi that is growing on the surface of the new plaster. If the plaster is dried out sufficiently, the food source for the plaster mites is destroyed. No food for the plaster mites, no more plaster mites!!!
