Sycamore Trees
I have a rather large sycamore tree in my back yard. The neighbor next to me has complained because he says the tree has dust mites. The tree does hang over into his yard. We have a wood privacy fence between the properties. I have contacted someone to come trim the tree, I don't want to lose the shape of the tree that's why I agreed to have it trimed. But now he wants me to do something about these dust mites. His suggestion was to cut down the tree. Which I won't do. What can I do to please him and get rid of these dust mites. He claims he gets bit all the time. Thanks. Mary

I hope you don't cut down the sycamore. Dust mites are everywhere and they
don't lurk in sycamore trees. Tell him he can avoid them if he sleeps while suspended from the ceiling by his ankles. Frankly, it sounds like your neighbor is a blithering idiot. He probably has a foil hat to wear around the house to keep the black helicopters from monitoring his brainwaves. Better yet, tell him sycamores are naturally dust-mite-repellant or something. If you cut it down he will still get bitten by dust mites and he'll probably blame it on your dog or cat or the direction you point your car when you park it. Best of luck with the neighbor and enjoy the tree! S I have a rather large sycamore tree in my back yard. The neighbor next to me has complained because he says the tree has dust mites.

Dust mites live on dead human skin cells, most commonly found living in your beds and carpets. I can not find any information on the net that includes dust mites in outdoor enviroments. If he is truly being bitten, then I'd suspect that it's fleas or other insects. I personally believe that your neighbor has issues with the tree that he may not wish to discuss with you .... or he may even possibly have issues with you personally. But no matter what the real issue maybe, it's not dust mites. -- http://yard-works.netfirms.com |

A friend of mine says the "balls" it produces causes their problems. (Seems more likely than mites.) |
