House dust mites are microscopic spider-like creatures living in nearly all homes feeding on the flakes of human skin.
They normally live unnoticed but in very large numbers, in warm moist places like your bedding, sofas, curtains, carpets and children's furry toys.
Many people are allergic to the waste product of house dust mites.
