Melbourne Carpet Mite Control Services
The signs of a carpet mite infestation can be both annoying and potentially dangerous to your home and health. If you live in Melbourne or surrounding suburbs, then your property could be particularly susceptible to a carpet mite infestation, as the humidity and temp
erature levels of our temperate climate are just the right conditions for these pests. Carpet mites feast on wool, carpets, cotton and many other types of fibre, making early pest control for carpet mites crucial to keeping your property in one piece.
It’s vital to recognise the

Understanding A Carpet Mite Infestation
What Are Carpet Mites?
Carpet mites are a subset of dust mites that feed on organic matter, including pet sheddings, food crumbs and human skin cells. You can tell a carpet mite infestation apart from a dust or bird mite problem because carpet mites will typically be found in carpets and furniture. Carpet mites also grow to around 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm, making them smaller than most other dust mite species.
When Do You Need Professional Carpet Mite Control?
There are several telltale signs of a carpet mite infestation. Call pest control for carpet mites if you notice the following in your home or business:
- Seeing the carpet mites themselves – although this can be hard, given that dust mites are 0.2mm – 0.3mm in length
- Damage to carpets, beddings, clothes or other fabrics
- Skin issues, including dermatitis and aggravated eczema
- Finding little hairs or carpet mite skins on your carpet or elsewhere on the property
At Pestline, it’s our mission to keep our clients and their properties safe by providing carpet mite extermination services across Melbourne. To prevent skin irritation or worse, seek professional carpet mite control now.
