A review and analysis of factors, that assist the different degree of settling of these places, are conducted. It is educed that the complex of acaridia mites of industrial places consists of 11 species, and agrarian – 30 species of acaridia mites. The greater specific variety of acaridia mites of agrarian places, in comparing to industrial, is explained by the conditions in the agrarian places, which are near to natural, in fact industrial places are anymore specialized for storage. Widespread synanthropic types of A. siro, Gl. destructor and Gl. domesticus meet in all investigated places.The specific variety of acaridia mites in the mixed fodder was low, and animal feeds, that were put into storage, have most kinds of mites, that were fixed in collections. On the whole complexes of acaridia mites of mills, granaries and storage facilities and beehives of melliferous bees are the most similar after specific composition, and complexes of acaridia mites of mixed fodder plants and animal feeds, that were put into storage, are the least similar.
