If you're looking to get rid of dust mites, you'll need to find a way to make your home less appealing to them. One way to do this is by using certain smells that they hate.
Some essential oils are known to be effective at repelling dust mites. These include eucalyptus oil, clove oil, peppermint oil, and tea tree oil. You can either add a few drops of these oils to a diffuser or spray them around your home.
Another option is to use citrus fruits like lemons and oranges. The scent of these fruits will help mask the smells that attract dust mites, making your home less inviting for them. You can either place bowls of these fruits around your home or use their peelings as a natural air freshener.
Finally, one study found that the smell of chocolate can actually help reduce the number of dust mites in your home. So if you're looking for a sweet-smelling solution, chocolate may be it!
