Good afternoon,We cannot detect dust mites. We only detect chemicals. Please let me know if I can answer anything additional.Regards,Rebekah ArmentroutHome Air Check

Sandy, it is labeled by the manufacturer to protect your mattress from bedbugs. The product label does not say anything about dust mites. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to be sure.

Nope. I use it to keep dog dander and dust down because of allergies. I am really impressed with the job it does and would buy another one without a doubt.

Have I applied it to dust mites then looked at their dead bodies thru magnification??? No! But knowing what I know about UV a, b, & c waves, I cannot imagine a dust mite could survive such punishment. If you have a dust mite problem, remember that only thru dedication to eradication will solve your problem. As good as this product is, don't expect a one time application to do the trick...those little buggers know how to hide.

I'm sorry but I don't know. If you have used in the past, you might continue. I have never had dust mite covers so have no basis for comparison.

Yes, controls. It will not kill dust mites, but it destroys what they eat, so they gradually die off in an area. The molecules from the unit will not get inside things like a pillow or mattress (it does not penetrate very far) but as the surfaces get cleaned off, things inside tend to soak up to the surface, where they are then cleansed. So, kills - no, controls over time - yes.

I wouldn't want to mislead you, so therefore I would recommend you go to the Sleep Tite web site or to the Amazon web site and read the "Product Description" as it explains it really well, but basically it says : The mattress protector cuts off food supply to dust mites and that it makes it impossible for them to thrive. It prevents exposure to dust mites which can lead to asthma in children an dust mites are a common trigger for asthmatics and is a leading cause of eczema. It also said you want to wash it periodically to remove the mite hazard. Seems like a good thing to me. Hope it helps.

It did not work to well with bedbugs; so I doubt it will work well with dust mites... I would try to find something else

I thoroughly UV scanned my mattress and even though I could not see any mites, I think that it did. The UV scanners are good and I know that they do kill mold. I had a leather handbag that was covered with white mold/mildew and I cleaned it with a liquid cleaner that removed the mold/mildew but you could still smell it and I used the UV wand on it and it eliminated all odors and it remained mold/mildew free. Works good on shoes also.

Not that I have seen but if related to allergic reaction better check with manufacturer

no where on this product does it say that it helps with bed bugs... it helps with dust mites. i am returning the product because it doesn't help with bed bugs. i got pillow protectors from saferest and that product does protect against bed bugs & dust mites.

I am allergic to dust mites and more and I'm still using the bag that came with the Eureka and have not experienced any issues. I also purchased a package of 9 Envirocaire Microfiltration vacuum bags "Eureka Allergy Micro Lined Vacuum F&G; Bags" as purchased on Amazon at the same time to use which should be even better. (I use the Envirocaire cloth HEPA bags in my older canister vac and they are good quality brand).

It actually does but it has to be used directly on the mites but it works good

Perhaps test it on a similar piece of cloth to see the results. even an untreated cloth would yield results to compare.

I'm not positive, but that is one of the reasons why I bought them. It seems to clean the air and we haven't had any reactions with allergies lately.

I just ordered another kit. I would always test from the tap and not the filters. these tests are inexpensive enough that I test fairly frequently.

I would assume it does because we purchased it to help with my husband's allergies which include dust mites which I think are smaller than fleas. Good luck!
