Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi I have struggled with some type of microscopic mite for a long time now. For a long time we didn't even know there was such a thing until the pest controller told us. Since then we have been able to manage it better but haven't gotten rid of them yet. Whatever the type of mite is it is totally microscopic. They leave little red bites. The seem to be like dust mites that bite. Its not as bad as the black ones that go internal some of you have but still it's pretty horrible. Pyrethrin didn't work only slowed them down a bit, we had the house sprayed 4 times and I'm not doing it again. Washing everything with borax works for a while. But we have a big house and the ceilings cant be reached without a ladder so it's nearly impossible to stay on top of it with our schedules. I have found a place that is going to send me a quote for identifying the species after I send in a sample. Has anyone else done this in the uk or ireland? If so where and how much should I expect to pay. Also I think I am going to buy some dehumidifyers. Has anyone else had success with this approach?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hi -- I recall two people in this group reporting that they eradicated their mites by using dehumidifiers -- Jeff Teeter and Stan Loe. Here is the link to Stan's victory post: bird mites/message/10557 I cannot locate Jeff Teeter's post. If you know where the mites are coming from, you can use diatomaceous earth (DE) to stop them. If you have small children or pets, food grade DE is best. Otherwise, you can use baited DE. DE can be purchased at a farm supply store, or the gardening section of a hardware store. I have a moat of DE around the perimeter of my dwelling. It needs to stay dry in order to be effective. myrtle > > Hi I have struggled with some type of microscopic mite for a long time now.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Let us know how the fogging goes.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Dehumidfying isn't feasible for me either because I live in a very warm and humid place with sky high electricity rates. The solution that you're going to spray sounds effective, but will probably make a big white mess of the interior of your home. Here is an environmental spray recipe that someone posted awhile back. I have not tried it myself: Environmental Spray BASE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SPRAY: 8 ounces commercial cedarwood essential oil Optional: other essential oils, 1 ounce each 1 gallon witch hazel 1 liter bottle of Vodka, strongest you can buy Mix above ingredients together. This is your base. MIXING OF THE SPRAY: Mix one cup of the base with one gallon of water. Spray your home with the environmental spray. Wear a respirator and goggles. You can add borax, salt or baking soda if you wish, but it will turn everything white. The spray that worked for me, but not for most other people, is Cedarcide's Best Yet Insect Spray. I do not strongly recommend it because it's costly and many people report that it didn't work for them. http://www.cedarcidestore.com/mite_control.html I had a chicken mite and collembola infestation. What I especially liked about the Cedarcide product was that it didn't make a mess. The base is a latex solution, not water. It leaves no residue and seems to be anti-static. Over time I have come to realize that using products with anti-static properties makes a huge difference. I believe borax has anti-static properties and that may be why it helps so many people. I didn't try boric acid or borax on the ground. I have two cats so I didn't want to use boric acid. I never thought to use borax. I bought a 35 pound bag of DE, and I've got plenty of it. Good luck. I hope you get rid of the mites soon. This time of year seems to be peak mite season. Aloha, myrtle > > > > Hi I have struggled with some type of microscopic mite for a long time now.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I suspect that the dehumidifiers take more than water from the air. I mean, it sucks the air through and probably drags along other things from the air (mold spores, dust, etc). Just something I've wondered about off and on and thought I'd throw that out.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Be careful with the boric acid. It's a neuro-toxin. I'm sorry you had to give up your dog, and the hens. I did a thorough steam-cleaning of my floors and baseboards before I sprayed. I was assuming there were nests and eggs behind the baseboards and the hot steam would cook the eggs. Another poster said they removed their baseboards and put caulk or putty to seal up the area between the flooring and baseboard. myrtle > > > > Z3, > The car and my home office were the worst place for bites.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 - What kind of test did you do to check your adrenals? When I first went to my local intern/integrative medicine doc, she said I had adrenal insufficiency. She concluded that through observing something with my eyes. That was the beginning of 2008, and I had been terrified for months - not at all surprising, considering how much adrenaline I'd been pumping.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 When I removed one of my baseboards, I was surprised at how much space there was between the flooring and drywall, so I believe it was well worth the time and effort that your husband expended to apply putty to those cracks. What an ideal dark hiding spot for mites to sleep and lay their tiny eggs. I steam cleaned and sprayed the cracks two years ago, and seem to be okay. I hope you are not in adrenal burn out, because that is serious and practically irreversible. Maybe it's adrenal fatigue or exhaustion, not burn out. You should be able to slowly regain your health if you find the right course and stick with it for a few years. It sounds like you're heading in the right direction. Take care! myrtle > > That was us Myrtle. We put in new floors, then put insulating putty around the cracks of the drywall, then put in new baseboards. What a job that was. Fortunately my husband is very handy and not as sick as I've been, but you can just imagine how long that took. Gives a peace of mind - bugs probably will not come through that gook. > > I really do think this whole thing has put both of us into adrenal burn out although our adrenal glands have been tested and are " normal. " I just don't have the physical strength I had before all of this 2 years ago. So weak now. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Bill - When I reduce the amount of Opaline, I will get an occasional sting in my feet (1-2 a week). When I bring it back up, it stops.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hi, Zoe - I've never noticed any difference when I take it. I WISH it would wake me up! I take it very early in the morning, on an empty stomach with just water. I lie down again & watch the news in bed, sometimes fall back to sleep. I try to always take it on an empty stomach - early afternoon again. Sometimes early evening, but I usually forget that one. I used to take 2 at a time, but increased it to 3. Then I heard she was telling folks 4 at a time, so now I take 4. So if I miss the 3rd dose it doesn't matter so much. I know they say you can take it with food, but my sense is it is going to interact with what's in your stomach rather than being absorbed relatively unchanged. Could be wrong, though!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Is there any danger in taking too many Dry Oxy caps? are there adverse effects for too much? It sounds like 4 capsules 3 times per day may be a good thing for me to try. I still get about 1 bite-like thing a day. Most of the time I barely notice them... unless they are in my ears and then I get so bummed and want to cry as those last for days and days with me. I got ear wax out the other day and with the microscopic I saw that the wax had bright a couple blue and red microscopic fibers embedded in it in it and lots of long thin branching black microscopic fibers in it too. > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > Z3, > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > The car and my home office were the worst place for bites.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Zoe - Truthfully, I don't absolutely know the answer to that question. I have not noticed any problems with it, but like many things something could be going on, unfelt, that might not be good. I will be talking with Dr. Staninger soon and will ask her, but I would expect her to say " no problems " - I will, however, ask for details on how it works. I will get back to the group afterwards.

I got them out of the car for now with smoking bug bombs. Mostly out of my office now from spraying with borax and windex out of a pump sprayer. > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > Myrtle, > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > Thanks for that recipe.
