If you are concerned about dust mites in you home, simply opening your windows for a few minutes each day will banish them. This time of the year, when the air is cooler, it eliminates the humidity in your home. Since dust mites can’t drink, they absorb water through the air to survive. An open window does the trick because without the humidity they die. An added bonus is that airing out your home lowers carbon dioxide levels and that will hep you fall asleep faster!
