Can dust mites jump?
Yes! I Finally found out what dust mites were when I moved. It was a very unpleasant experience. Dust mites seemed to like damp moist spots. For instance the facial area, like in your nose, ears, eyes well you get the picture. And YES they do jump to hitch a ride on you to another humid damp area. If you have very sensitive skin as I do you can actually feel them moving around on you. Gross Huh!? Well finally after laundering on a very hot temperature, an air purifier/filter, plastic wrap on bedding, and a dehumidifier I can say I put them pests to rest for now but it is an on going battle that for this time armed with knowledge...

How do you know if your Poultry Mites are gone for good?
Usually if Poultry Mites have moved in they leave a bloodlike substance on the house near the place where they are nesting. Poultry Mites' nests usually look like a dusty kind of substance and at night, mites being nocturnal insects, the nest usually wriggles with all the new arrivals of Mites eggs etc. If you have Poultry Mites a good way to get rid of them is to use three drops of dilluted Dettol in boiling water and scrub it out with a thick brush. this can also be quite useful for just scrubbing out their house once a week.
Are residential electrostatic air conditioning filters good or bad?
They are excellent. They remove dust and other contaminants and any biological (pollin, dust mites, dead skin, etc.) are destroyed by the high voltage. If you have allergies and/or asthma, an elecronic air filter will change your life. But don't count on the cheap rip-offs doing much good for you. Some of them CLAIM to be electrostatic, but if you don't plug them in and don't hear the crackle, they aren't really electrostatic.
