Joe-46er:

J I've heard that household dust mites can be killed en masse by cold
J temps. Now that it's winter here in NJ, if I open the windows in my
J bedroom all day and let the sub-freezing cold air in for a day, will
J this do the job? My wife has allergies and even regular vacuuming
J doesn't solve the problem completely. Thanks.

Haven't heard of that one but you might be creating other problems.
If there is an adjoining bathroom or water pipes in the inner walls
of your bedroom these may freeze and burst.

I would also think if the cold kills the current dust mites on
re-heating the bedroom new ones would find the bedroom as a home.

The better way is to feed your family 11 bean soup and keep all doors
and windows closed.
