House Dust Mite

Eradication
Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate powder is often used to eradicate house dust mites.
A simple washing will remove most of the waste matter. Exposure to temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F) for a period of one hour or freezing, exposure to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), will typically prove fatal to house dust mites; a relative humidity less than 50 percent may also be fatal. Ten minutes in a household clothes dryer at lethal temperatures has been shown to be sufficient to kill all the dust mites in bedding. House dust mites reproduce quickly enough that their effect on human health can be significant.
As dust mites like warm, fluffy furniture and materials, they are most likely to be found on beds, couches, carpets, toys and curtains. Washing will not completely remove all mites or their droppings, however it will remove at least 90%. It is recommended by the health government that beds, pillows and other soft furniture are washed regularly for 8 weeks. It is best to have a carpet free house if dust mites or any house pests are dangerous for a person (e.g. because of their allergy), as flat surfaces are easier to clean and vacuum. If a person is allergic to dust mites, anti-mite mattresses or mattresses which prevent any house pests should be used. However, it is best to clean the house; wash, dry and vacuum, even though it might be costly.
