We found that several thousands of dust mites live in pillows, mattresses, bed covers, surrounding & underneath of beds, and carpets. Some times the number exceeds to several millions. In addition to the dust mites above mentioned, there are few other microscopic mites also live with them. They all carry translucent bodies. Figure 1 shows various mites that were found in bed sheets, mattresses, pillows, and carpets. Unfortunately they are not visible in naked eye to remove them. The dust mites move actively through thin fibers of dust particles. With a vacuum cleaner it is hard to remove all the dust mites as they are held to thin dust fibers and move against vacuum flow. In addition to thin fibers, there are dead mite bodies, dust mites’ feces, dead human skin flakes, human hair, and other foreign matters are existed in dust. It was revealed that dust mites can not fly or move freely in the air without any lumps of dusts. Some times they can be found under the bed with foam of dust.

The products that we have designed are used to destabilize dust mites from their quick movements in dust fibers and also to affect their watery bodies in different directions so their body fluids do not function properly. As a result they either die or slow down their movements in dust. Our experimental investigation shows that most of the adult dust mites’ movement limited to 5 minutes with DME-100-U product. It was observed that first 5 minutes, dust mites struggle to balance them-selves on the fibers of dust. That leads to quick removal of dust mites from carpets, pillows, bed sheets, mattresses by vacuuming them simultaneously. In laboratory tests, we have attempted to excite the destabilize mites by a thin rod, but it was revealed that the dust mites found dead.
