environmentally safe.
What effect will the Allersearch®
Treatment have?
Effective control of asthma and allergic rhinitis can be achieved by
following your doctor's medication plan. It is also important to reduce
trigger factors where possible. Allersearch® products reduce major
triggers found in the household.
What areas of the house should be
treated with Allersearch® products?
All upholstered furniture and carpets should be treated with Allersearch®
ADS™ and X-Mite®. Clothing, bedding, towels, and draperies should be
washed using Allersearch® Allergen Wash. When dusting, apply Allersearch®
AllerDust™ to your feather duster or dust cloth to prevent the allergens
from becoming airborne. Apply Allersearch® AllerMold™ to surfaces that
are exposed to high humidity or moisture to prevent the development of
mold and mildew. Allersearch® Pet+™ is applied to furry pets
to wash off pet dander and protect against fleas and ticks. Mattresses
and pillows should be encased in mite proof encasings for optimal
protection. See our Allergen Barriers
for more details.
Who is most likely to benefit from the
Allersearch Home Allergy Treatment Program?
Anyone who suffers with allergies or asthma can benefit from the
Allersearch Home Allergy Treatment Program. The Allersearch Home Allergy
Treatment Program reduces one of the major allergy triggers-allergens
from the house dust mite, as well as those from pollens, mold, mildew,
and cat and pet dander. Effective control of allergies and asthma can be
achieved by following your doctor's medication plan. It is also
important to reduce trigger factors where possible.
How do I know if I have dust mites?
Dust mites are invisible to the naked eye. Even in the cleanest of
homes, mites can inhabit mattresses, pillows, blankets, quilts, carpets
and fabric-covered furniture. They thrive in warm, humid or damp
conditions and live on a diet of skin scales which we shed daily.
We provide various
Dust Mite Test Kits
to test your home for elevated dust mite levels and self tests for
testing yourself for dust mite allergies.
What are dust allergens?
House dust is a mixture of many substances. Its content varies from
home to home. A speck of dust may contain fabric fibers, human skin
particles, animal dander, microscopic creatures called dust mites, parts
of cockroaches, mold spores, food particles and other debris. Of these,
the house dust mite is the most common culprit to cause an allergy and
asthma reaction.

What is a dust mite? |
 |
Dust mites are microscopic
arachnids that you cannot see without using a microscope. They
feed on skin flakes and thrive in warm, humid or damp
conditions. They can be found in mattresses, pillows, carpets,
upholstered furniture, bedcovers, clothes, stuffed toys, and
fabric or other fabric-covered items. |
How do I know the difference between
allergies and the common cold?
Allergies cause you to sneeze repeatedly, cause your eyes and nose to be
itchy, and continue on for long periods of time. Colds usually have body
aches and cough associated with them and go away in about a week.
