Woodlice set for the shadows, but other creatures are bolder. Outside a newcomer is looking for a way in, a male house spider. A water pipe is an opening invitation. It will take a lot more than a cold shower to deter 1 this male on his hunt for a mate. The rest of the Smith family are also under surveillance. Daniel, the 17-year-old who hates school. Josh, the 12-year-old football freak. Alex, the 8-year-old * fanatic 2. And Hollywood, the *.

These are dust mites 4, magnified 5,000 times and for breakfast, they're have skin flakes 5. Like all of us, Joe sheds up to 10 grams of skin every week. Dead cells are our staple 6 food for dust mites. Fortunately they only eat dead tissue. And without their help, we will be swarmed 7 in dead skin.
