What to do with bare floors?

Hi, Last June I ripped out all of my carpet - 2 bedrooms, hallway, LR, DR by

myself (I'm single). The glue that was used to glue the carpet down is still

there (looks about 2-3 feet wide by the length of the room) and the mites are in

the glue. I first used a chemical to remove the glue, but it was very toxic and

extremely slow scraping it off, so I quit that for a while. I'm thinking of

renting a floor sander and sand away the glue now. Has anyone tried that?

Also, I have concrete floors and I have been barefoot all summer. It seems

whatever type of mites these are they like plastic, so I keep a pair of flip

flops outside and spray them with Bayer Advanced Pest Control. I wear socks at

night and have been sleeping on my sofa which I also spray with the same Bayer

every evening. I had used a vacuum last June that did not have a bag, so took

it outside and put it in my shed, brought it back in the house and the problem

was so bad that I tried to throw it away, but my mother has it now. I have a

vacuum that has a cup in my shed and I use that sometimes. But it seems that

everything that touches my floor is infested sooner or later. All my shoes are

in a bag in my closet in my bedroom which is the worst room in my condo b/c I

have done less spraying and Swiffer mopping in there I guess. I would

appreciate any advice. Thanks.
