Abstract

Six hours exposure to -15°C was needed for the eradication of the moving stages of Dermatophagoides farinae and D. microceras, whereas D. chelidonis, D. pteronyssinus and Euroglyphus maynei needed an exposure of 6 hours to -28°C for the same effect. In continental and sub-arctic climates these temperatures occur in winter. One day exposure of the mattresses to the outdoor air could be attempted as a control of the pyroglyphid mite infestations.
