Can I kill dust mites with my mass?

Can I crush microscopic dust mites by walking/lying on them for example by walking on carpet or getting into bed? If so how many, and if not, why not?

In a bed or on carpet the dust mite would simply be pushed into that material as is deformed around them. Tiny creatures with exoskeletons are incredibly difficult to crush because you need to be very precise. If a dust mite were to be sitting on a slab of marble with no imperfections on the surface, it could be crushed by you if you were wearing something equally as smooth and perfectly surfaced on your feet. 

So basically, dust mites and other microscopic creatures are too durable and too tiny to realistically be crushed by you. Fabrics and human skin are too soft to crush them.
