Dust Mite Information

House Dust Mites: Tiny Creatures With a Big Impact on Allergy Sufferers

What Are House Dust Mites?

Microscopic arachnids (related to spiders and ticks)
About 0.2–0.5mm long — invisible to the naked eye
Live up to 10 weeks; females lay 1–3 eggs daily
They do not bite (unlike bed bugs)

Where Do They Live and What Do They Eat?

Feed on dead skin flakes (especially when moldy)
Thrive in warm, humid, dark places like:
- Mattresses (up to 2 million mites!)
- Pillows, doonas, blankets
- Carpets and upholstered furniture

Why Are They a Problem?

Their droppings contain allergy-triggering proteins
Can cause or worsen asthma, eczema, and hay fever
Up to 80% of asthmatics are sensitive to dust mites
As many as 30% of Australians are affected in some areas

How Can You Protect Yourself?

Use AllergEnd Plus fully zippered dust mite covers on mattresses, pillows, and quilts
Wash bedding in hot water (60°C or more)
Keep indoor humidity below 50%
Clean and vacuum regularly

AllergEnd Plus zip-up dust mite protective covers are designed to create a complete barrier between you and the dust mite. AllergEnd Plus covers help significantly reduce your exposure to dust mite allergens.

What Our Customers Have to Say...

Unbelievable! The bedding protection made an immediate difference - less sneezing & reduced swelling under the eyes. I have highly recommended it to friends.

K. Girdler, Avalon Beach, NSW

So far has significantly improved my 15 month old daughter's sleeping - previously coughed and woke regularly (3-4 times) a night.

G. Pither, Willoughby, NSW

Super fast delivery. Noticed improvement within a week, our son’s eczema is really clearing up.

L. Kauffmann Blaxland, NSW

My daughter used to constantly sneeze in the mornings but now she doesn’t sneeze at all and I consider myself to be a very clean freak. The covers have definitely made a difference.

C. Murry, Agnes Water, QLD

Matthew has suffered for 3 years with eczema and I never really believed dust mites could be the problem until we put the protectors on his mattress and pillow - WOW! What a difference. I feel terrible I did not do it sooner. Message to any parent who has been told their child's eczema will improve if dust mites are eliminated/minimised - Believe it! and act TODAY! Thanks

N. Williams, Ashbury, NSW

Great product.. My daughter’s eczema improved drastically after sleeping on this product. Peace of mind for both myself and my husband. She sleeps better and we all have a better nights rest. A very happy returning customer.

A. Canny, Bayswater, VIC

Excellent response to my order, ordered on the net one day, on the bed the next! Well done!

A. Saccardo, Rosslyn Park, SA

My son suffers from chronic hay-fever & has a dust mite allergy – he only had your products for a fortnight and they seem to have helped tremendously – wish I’d got them earlier!!

Mrs L. Russell, Mt Eliza, VIC

Our daughter suffers from severe eczema and until fitting Allergend Plus hadnt slept right through the night. What a saviour this product is. Our whole family is better for it.

Mr. R Sinclair-Smith, Narrabundah, ACT

After many sleepless nights spent sneezing, coughing & scratching, the change was almost immediate with no more rhinitis & eczema clearing shortly afterwards. Thanks so much!

J. Jennings, Little Mountain, QLQ

Quality product, well made, efficient customer service, will recommend products to family and friends.

Mr R. Caithness, Gladstone Park, VIC

I suffer from Rhinitis and have put up with the pain and headaches for 15 years. The pain was gone the first night I used Allergend. Thank you
