Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi Crystal, Glad it is helping. Air conditioning can really help here also, to keep the humidity low. They tend to be most active and reproduce greatest with 70%-90% relative humidity. This is why they also are attracted to the shower/tub area. So spraying the area with bleach/water after bathing can help. The birdmites.org website tends to get greater than 70% of hits from people who live in FL, CA, LA, TX, NY, as well as in the UK. Places with a lot of coastal areas and high humidity for at least part of the year.
