Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Recognizing the fact that the mites enjoy using a " host " to torture I decided to go to bed each night, starting in Spring, covered with my own or perhaps a store bought herbal repellent. I did this religiously the last 3 years and I am not being bitten at all!!! I even miss some nights. I gave up trying to change my environment. We do watch out for any nests near the house since we live in a wooded area near a lake and it sure has been very hot and humid here in NJ. Once it starts getting cool at night I stop the nightly bug repellent. I mix eucalyptus in a carrier oil making sure it really smells like eucalyptus. I apply it after my shower. If I have any cedar oil, neem oil or sea buckthorn I just throw it in the same bottle. I think the eucalyptus is the answer. I do absolutely nothing else. If the mites find no one tasty to eat they will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
