Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have purchased a pound of crystals, but have not used them yet. I plan to this weekend. I wish I could find somewhere that tells you how much to use and how much you need to treat a house. I think the idea behind the menthol is it messes up how the mites take in oxygen. Many of the effective products people have used on this site have menthol in them or one of the other kind of mints. Example: Gold Bond has menthol as does the vicks vaporub. The popular enzyme cleaner has peppermint and people also use a peppermint and water mixture on themselves to keep the mites off. I'll let everyone know how it goes. > > > >> >> > > > >> >> I went on Craig's list and it was a little > > overwhelming > > > === message truncated === > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I use the menthol pellets with a defuser it does dry them out, I put about 4-5 in defuser and I even put a couple in the hot bath, I recommend only 2! Unless you want your private parts to burn off! Haha like mine almost did. You can get the defuser here: http://birchhillhappenings.com/scentbal.htm#shell They also sell essential oils. But they can get price I rather spend 20$ on a 1lb bag of pellets that's lasted me 2 months so far. You can get the pellets here: http://www.mannlakeltd.com -Adam On Thu, 21 Aug 2008 8:38 pm, wrote: > I had read the Shanspirations and the menthol > crystals. did you try them?
