In summer, insects are not content to stay outside and it is important to eliminate this very harmful species which runs in our homes in the summer.
While summer is in full swing, insects are omnipresent and we use many subterfuges to preserve us. But as much as it is easy to protect yourself from visible and noisy insects such as mosquitoes, flies, ants or wasps, it is another pair of sleeves when it comes to species invisible to the naked eye. This is particularly the case for this insect whose existence is not suspected, but which invests our interiors from the increase in temperatures and despite impeccable hygiene.
If you live in a particularly hot region, that your house contains many wooden elements (beams, furniture, firewood …) and you have itching and sneezing, you have to act quickly! Because these signs are not heralding a simple allergy, a phenomenon that can be frequent in summer, but rather to a harmful that it is difficult to identify. Indeed, pyemotes are microscopic mites fond of wood, known to parasitize xylophagous insects as the vrillette. Pyemots do not eat wood directly, they attack insects that live inside, but if they have nothing to parasitize, they can prick man. These mites love heat, humidity and untreated wood. They are often found in old furniture, frames, exposed beams, or even firewood stocks.
What solutions? Even if the reactions can be impressive, the pymotes bites are benign. The most important thing in the event of infestation of Pyemots is to eliminate them, but above all to prevent their reappearance. For this, a natural treatment of wooden surfaces with beeswax would be enough to eradicate them, but if the symptoms persist, it is recommended to have a diagnosis established by a professional before letting yourself be tempted by the first insecticide come.
And to avoid a new infestation, do not hesitate to regularly ventilate your accommodation, wash your bed linen at high temperature and to treat your woodwork frequently.
