Allergies in the Bedroom

Dust mites, bed bugs and bacterial growth are the most common causes of allergic reactions in the bedroom. They thrive in humid and warm conditions, burrowing deeply into your snug mattress, surfacing nightly for ritualistic feeds.

A constant supply of food, readily available, ensures these household critters continue to multiply, feeding off your blood and skin cells at an average of 30 000 – 40 000 cells a day.

For your generous hospitality, you are rewarded with mild to serious allergic reactions ranging from:

Asthma
Runny nose
Itchy eyes
Sore throat
Coughing and wheezing
Itchy welts and localised swelling
Respitory disease
Rhinitis
And eczema

No matter how clean your home, these blood sucking, skin feeding pests thrive in areas where humans make daily contact. They live in or near beds, sporting unknowing signs and symptoms that leave you all the worse for wear and deluded as to what the causes could be.

Fighting Bed Bug and Dust Mites

Your mattress hygiene is just as important as your personal hygiene. Daily use reduces your mattress lifespan, stains void your guarantee and unprotected, your mattress hoards bacterial growth drawn from bodily fluids through sheets, which in turn, feed and provide optimum housing for bed bugs and dust mite.

These pesky little vampires don’t wither away from sudden daylight and often require elimination through chemical warfare – your costly pest control services.

Improve your defences against these allergens. Know your enemy and develop a strategic long term plan to eliminate them.

Replace old mattresses
Clean your new mattress regularly
Vacuum with HEPA vacuum cleaner
