Re: Comparing Dawn to Arm and Hammer

[Guest guest]

We had much better results when we sprayed with orange plus vs the other stuff

you mentioned. I would suggest wiping or scrubbing after vacuuming whenever

possible... rather than simply spraying, People have sometimes been successful

with food grade Diataneacious Earth and Roche Prufe... and with Tempo Sc and

Bifen and Gentrol.

but you have to get rid of the rodents or you will have mite forever, along with

whatever other diseases the mites impact. This is likely the MOST serious part

of your situation. If you have rodent mites they will reproduction into the

trillions quickly with mice present. They are similar to bird mites.

I truly believe that you will never be able to reduce the mote population as

long as you have mice. You may kill some but they reproduce faster than you

could possibly keep up with and the eggs can hatch out for a long long time...

I agree,

The only thing is we don't know when the mice are gone.

We don't know when we have gotten them and then we start seeing them again.

Does this mean that you think these could be rat mites?

If my husband cannot take care of trying to trap these then maybe we can find a

local company to come by weekly.

It's important to keep looking and looking until you figure out where they may

be getting in. Traps and poison the ones already inside. Look in the subarea,

the attic, check the vents and chimney...

Well stated .

Once the birds or rats are gone the mites can't reproduce... but adult bird

mites can live for years off human blood. So it may take a while to determine

whether you have been infected with any other diseases from the mites and can be

soooo confusing. I don't know how long rodent mites can live off human blood.

We think we have been given some odd disease cuz now we seem to attract mites

from places that are not OUR own environment.
