Mites survive by eating human’s dandruff and scalp. They are mainly parasites that stay in the mattress, or any other places that are warm or dark for them to survive. While tidying up the bed sheet, the mites together with the dust are thrown away scattering around the floor, primarily in the bedroom. However, mites do not prefer to sit on carpet or floor that is not their ideal survival environment as it is too cold, too dry or too expose to the light, and sometimes may be cleaned away by the detergents. They may also wipe off by the mop, floor or even be removed away by the vacuum cleaner. Therefore, they select human’s body as their ideal habitats.
