Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Jackie and all. We received our order for " Best Yet " yesterday and plan to start in the morning with it. When I talked to Dave yesterday, he advised me to drape some towels or something similar over electronic products (computers, tv's, dvd players, portable phones etc.) Also I got my mite samples & pictures sent to Dr. Ben this afternoon so he should get it about wednesday. He is a world famous entomoligist and a very nice man too, said he would be happy to look at whatever I send him. They sent some respirators to wear while fogging but they didn't look good enought to me so we went by Harbor Freight this morning and bought two better ones. This stuff is safe for your skin but it wouldn't be good to breath it that strong for any length of time. I will let you know how it works.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello fellow mite-fighters. I recently gave CedarCide a try, and did not get very good results with it. If the CedarCide does actually kill mites and their eggs on contact, I can only think it would be because they are suffocated/encapsulated in the oil solution. So essentially, my guess is you'd have to cover every square micrometer of every mite/egg, which, as we well know here, is impossible. But I agree--the folks there are very nice. I didn't experience much relief at all. Really it was business as usual after coating my room and other areas of the house that I frequent, as well as all fabrics (rugs, chairs, etc). The smell is a bit overpowering at first, but you get used to it, and after a while it actually smells good. After experiencing little relief, I applied the second coat a week later. My recommendation is not to waste your money on the product, but then again, I can't be sure it won't work in other contexts. I laugh in the face of all entomologists/dermatologists/bug professionals (hopefully they hear that as a challenge of sorts to step up and do something...). At present, there is nothing reasonable that can be done to eradicate this tiny invisible army. Although I don't wish this upon ANYONE, it would perhaps be helpful to have some successful entomologists affected by our troubles. Maybe then the medical community would perk up a bit more. If anyone would like to offer a skeptical entomologist perhaps a nice blanket from my house to cuddle up with, I wouldn't object. In the spring I'm planning on working abroad in New Zealand to escape this insanity. > > > > Hello All, > > I was just checking out Cedarcide.com, and was impressed when I > > called.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Tnxjob. Thanks for publishing your results with cedarcide - although it would have been nice if you had posted when I inquired about it on Jan. 3. We are going to use it today and maybe again in a few days. Neal rubbed it all over him last night before going to bed and did not have a single crawlie, also it smells nice and leaves your skin feeling soft as a baby's. I may use it for moisterizer if it don't kill the mites! When I talked to Dave he said they had never had a complaint about this product, so why don't you contact him and let him know it didn't work for you and see what he has to say about that? I wonder if he would print your info on the testimonials page? Anyway, we're all in this together and just have to keep fighting. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 This is what I thought. All the websites out there that talk big about their products and nothing works. Heck, Ray got rid of these things with ivermectin, windex, and listerine. I'm so tired of spending money on nothing that works.tnxjob <thepriesthood@...> wrote: Hello fellow mite-fighters.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mel- I spent a ton of money and I finally got rid of these things with stuff at the grocery store, cutting out sugar and Iver.
