Houston, TX (PRWEB) March 07, 2013

New Houston based mite removal service is offering people of the area tips on how to protect their homes, families, and pets from mite infestation this upcoming spring. The location of Houston alone is cause for concern for homeowners when it comes to mites. These tiny creatures thrive in temperatures 70 degrees or above, with a humidity hovering between 75-80% which are averages for springtime in Houston.

There are many types of mite infestation in Houston, some pose no threat to humans like a Clover Mite. Some mites can cause an allergic reaction that could be potentially deadly in humans like a Dust Mite. Then there other types of mites like Bird Mites or Scabies Mites that are parasitic and actually use mammals like humans or family pets as hosts.

“Nobody likes to talk about mites, but it is an important conversation that every family in Houston should have in order to maintain a certain quality of living within your home,” says owner Calvin Thigpen.
