For a version suitable for printing, click here. Dust Mites Dust mites are tiny microscopic creatures that cause allergic reactions. These hardy creatures like to live in warm, humid places and are found in most areas of the United States. They thrive in temperatures from 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with humidity levels of 75 to 80 percent. They die when the humidity falls below 40 to 50 percent, so they are rarely found in dry climates. It is nearly impossible to avoid dust mites as they are found in even the cleanest houses.
