While dust mites are light-weight enough to become airborne, their body weight will keep them from remaining airborne longer that 10 or 15 minutes. Not so for the DMA's, which can easily become airborne by simply fluffing a pillow, rolling over in bed, opening a door, or even walking through a carpeted house, and remain airborne for 2 hours while circulating throughout the entire home.
