You may want to check with your allergist whether dust mites are an issue in your area. When I raised it with our allergist, a national recognized expert from National Jewish Medical Center, he politely told me that dust mites are not an issue in Colorado because it is too dry here. He said that if we lived in Houston it would be a different story. I don't know whether dust mites live in N. Texas. You may want to check before going through dust mite mitigation.
