Does it get in your home if it's closed up tight?

We live in the desert. We have constant dust.

You can't "seal" a house...  The air inside would become unhealthy.   If you look on your roof, there are numerous ventilation pipes.

 

You CAN "tent" a house, if you are exterminating (for termites, or other vermin).   You would have to vacate the premises, tho.

I just meant to make sure all windows were shut and wondered if dust still laid on furniture and floors with everything shut. 

 

I've seen tented houses in Hawaaii.
