How do you know if a pillow or sheets have mites or not?!
Question:
Answers:
Bed bugs infest only a small proportion of residences, but they should be suspected if residents complain of bites that occurred while sleeping. The bedroom and other sleeping areas should be carefully examined for bed bugs and signs of bed bug activity. Folds and creases in the bed linens, and seams and tufts of mattresses and box springs, in particular, may harbor bed bugs or their eggs. They may also be found within pleats of curtains, beneath loose areas of wallpaper near the bed, in corners of desks and dressers, within spaces of wicker furniture, behind cove molding, and in laundry or other items on the floor or around the room. Sometimes, characteristic dark brown or reddish fecal spots of bed bugs are apparent on the bed linens, mattress or walls near the bed. A peculiar coriander-like odor may be detected in some heavily infested residences. Adhesive-based traps used for sampling insects or rodents are not particularly effective for trapping bed bugs. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs/

Both pillows and sheets have mites all the time. You get rid of most of them by washing sheets in hot water and bleach. I also wash my pillows. I'd be aware of any powders, etc., to use. I wash sheets at least weekly.
try using the magnify glass if yous see any bugs moving you have them not spiders or slators
There are mites guaranteed. It is just the way it is. You can cut down on them by vacuuming your mattress and letting it air out and letting your pillow air out in the sun. Keep your sheets clean by changing a couple of times a week. They live on moisture and thrive in the cool darkness. Hope this helps.
Keep your sheets washed often. I have read that we should actually boil the sheets to kill the mites. And I have also read that we should get rid of our pillows about every 6 months! Kind of disgusting, isn't it?
