You should be aware of these little, but very nasty creatures. When they are on the move, it “mite” be for you, at night. Honestly, this is not a scare tactic, just fact. It’s not all about bed bugs. Just go ask the folks who frequent birdmites.org. Customers used to call us with complaints of spider bites that we couldn’t solve. Then came the bed bug epidemic and we started looking at other possibilities. Now we know that it is often mites, bird mites, rat mites or some other form of mite. You can learn more at Hearts Pest Management. Check out pages for rats and mice, birds, as well as mites and parasites to get the full picture. There is also learn a lot about this subject from Hearts Consulting Group, which has completed first phase development of a website focusing on Bugs In My Bed.
