i dont want to buy i new matters every 9 months so what i would like to know is what are some other things i can do / use on the mattress???

is there some kind of spray to kill them and the eggs???

i live in australia if that helps anyone !!

Answer 1

spray your matteress with disinfectant?

Dust mites don't like being steam cleaned. Steam clean those areas in your home where you have apoholstery and a lot of human traffic. The steam cleaning will kill some of the mites and does a more thorough job of picking up particles of dust.



Dust Mite Treatments

If step 1 fails, then perhaps you should try an alternative found in the sidebar to the right. There are, of course, sprays and treatments that can be used to reduce the number of dust mites or at least neutralize the allergens present in dust mite f***s. There are many vendors of dust mite treatments on the internet. It doesn't take much to find them, and it saves you the hassle of a trip to the store.

After completing these two easy tasks, you should have less dust mites in your home. No more waking up with rashes or swollen sinuses.

Try moth balls between the box spring and mattress. Also the vaccumm Kirby is supposed to be so powerful to suck them out of the mattress. The cost of one of those might be the same as a new mattress but it pays for itself if you keep buying mattresses

Answer 8

Here's what you CAN do:

Every 3 to 6 months, take your mattress outside for a dusting. Get someone to help you carry the mattress. Then, heavily slap it to shake off those bed mites. This will eliminate many of them.

Answer 9

it's really important to change your sheets/pillow covers at least once a week.. you're right-- there are bound to be mites in everyone's beds but if you are especially paranoid about them i think changing sheets is the most practical thing to do since buying a new mattress every few months isnt so appealing... good luck! =)

Answer 10

Bed mites feed off of dead skin cells left behind by us.

You can vacuume you mattress weekly, change sheets once a week, and protect the mattress with a rubber backed mattress protector.

There is really no way of getting rid of mites. They live every where we do.
