Do ticks like smea?

Mites love moisture ... Humid Japan is a tick heaven。The time of high temperature and humidity is easy to increase.。Control moisture and prevent mites!

Japan of "Jimedime" and "Sitosito" is a tick heaven

It is said that mites generally prefer moisture and moderate temperatures。Japan's climate is hot and humid.、For example, the average annual humidity in Tokyo is about 60%。50Only for a very short period of winter。The average humidity exceeds 70%, especially from June to September from the rainy season to summer.。
It is said that the humidity favored by ticks is about 60 to 80%.、60If it exceeds 10%, it may increase explosively。In addition, the temperature at which mites can live and breed is 10 to 35 degrees Celsius.。Therefore, it is a very livable environment for ticks, especially in summer in Japan.。
In addition, recent housing、The airtightness has increased, so even if the humidity outdoors is not so much、Indoor humidity can be high。

Condensation, which occurs in window panes in the cold season,、It can be seen when the temperature difference between outdoor and indoors is large。in a place where the warm air in the room is rapidly cooled、Water vapor in the air becomes a drop of water、It's condensation.、In other words, condensation、The airtightness of the room is so high、High humidity mark。The interior of the modern house is warm even in winter、And it can be said that it is jimejime。

A large amount of ticks occur! What are these three conditions?

Only high humidity and suitable temperature、Ticks do not occur in large quantities。After all delicious rice、It's not a tick heaven without the need for esa.。
And now、What do you think is the food of the tick in the room? The favorite foods of "yake leopard mite" and "kona leopard mite", which currently occupy most of the mites in the room, are the chiles in the room.。Among them, dandruff and red、I like to eat mold.。In fact, mites love protein.。That's why、Dandruff and red that contain a lot of protein are favorite foods.。
The other is that there is a place to dive.。Most of the mites in the house hate light.。Dive into places where sunlight, electricity, etc. are not exposed to light。Carpets and cloth sofas in the room where there are many mites、Wata Futon。Both are "hot and humid"、"I have a ed."、and it's a place where there's a place to dive。

Humidity control is recommended over temperature control

Japanese climate and housing that tend to become tick heaven like this。Will it be made as much as you like the tick as it is ... I think、There is a valid way。It's "humidity control"。
In fact, the mite "Yake leopard mite" which is common indoors is 55% humidity.、"Kona leopard mites" have a reduced fertility by continuing to have a humidity of 50% or less。Keeping the humidity below 50% prevents the growth of ticks。The coming season、It is effective to use the air conditioner with "humidity adjustment" as a point rather than the indoor temperature.。
Sun drying is also effective in lowering humidity。I put the whole thing which cannot be dried in a large bag and put a dryer.、I'm hitting the wind of the fan.、Using anti-mite products、Let's prevent the tick heaven with that hand。
