How to Naturally Eliminate Dust Mites and Bedbugs from Your Mattress

3. Vacuum Thoroughly and Regularly

• Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
• Focus on mattress seams, headboards, under the bed, and carpet edges.
• Immediately dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister outside.

🛏️ Ongoing Prevention Tips

• Reduce clutter under and around your bed — it limits hiding spots.
• Don’t place luggage on beds when returning from travel (bedbugs can hitch a ride).
• Keep the bedroom cool and dry — dust mites love humidity.
• Sun your mattress when possible. UV rays and fresh air help kill mites and prevent moisture buildup.
• Use essential oils like clove, peppermint, or citronella in a room spray as a natural repellent.
