What (Anti-) Dust Mite Spray does?.

As we already know, reducing dust mites helps lower the risk of Asthma attacks and allergies in sensitized individuals. Dust mite allergy is extremely common in many countries. Research in the United Kingdom has shown that over 80% of children suffering from Asthma are sensitive to dust mites and their allergens. What we recommend to do it regular cleaning and proper maintenance, such as using the (anti-) dust mite spray.

What are all the (anti-) dust mites products do actually? What are they made for? Do they really work in killing dust mites?

First, we need to be clear about how can we judge a spray product if it is working or not. As we are talking about (anti-) dust mites spray, it needs to be:

–       Safe: safe to use for human and pets, especially for persons who are already suffering from or sensitive about various allergens.

–       Efficiency: the ingredients need to terminate dust mites and disable their further multiplication.

–       Preferably there is no such thing as “out of use period” after applying the spray, because people need to use their bedrooms.

Here is some comparison among different commercial spray products, and we shall be able to make the right choice of which spray product to pick.
