Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Thanks so much for this information, I live right next to Japan Town here in SF and will inquire in that neighborhood about that fascinating Sheet. Somehow looking toward Asian countries for our particular answers has crossed my mind. I am patiently awaiting your return from Japan. Domo...... Marguerite From: kihunshin <kihunshin@...>Subject: mite catcherbird mites Date: Friday, September 26, 2008, 9:06 PM Hi,I'm originally from Japan (although not Japanese) and over there, there are plethora of products specifically made for mite combat. Yes, mites, not fleas, ticks, spiders, and roachs as it is common in the states. There's just more public knowledge in general about mites that bite, as opposed to here, where it appears the only common knowledge are dust mites.I'm actually going to Japan for a vacation and will look around for some products that might help. I was searching online and this caught my eyes:http://item. rakuten.co. jp/five-1/ 10016902/Sorry, it's in Japanese and this is a "mite catcher sheet". It is said to attract mites with a scent they like, and what awaits them inside the sheet is a strong glue so they will not escape. Eggs that hatch inside are also trapped. One sheet covers 3 sq meter area, costs around $9-11 depending on where you get it, and will last 3 months. It says you can put them in your closet, underneath rugs, under a futon, inside the car, etc. This is very interesting and I will surely come back with them and try it out.Here's a site specifically for mites. Mites = dani in japanese (pronoucned dah-nee). You can see these sheets here:http://dani. livertype. com/danitori. html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Come to think of it, I recently came across a site that provides an all inclusive moving service, from white cloves unpacking, to In-Transit fumigation, to placing 'Sheets' underneath carpets for insect control, I forgot the site's name, however, I will try to re-capture it.... So fascinating and there must be a way out of this mite hell.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I babelfished the page. It seems these are for dust mites. If you do a search, you'll find dust mite mats. The ones I found have eucalyptus oil on them. > > From: kihunshin <kihunshin@...> > Subject: mite catcher > bird mites > Date: Friday, September 26, 2008, 9:06 PM > > > > > > > Hi, > > I'm originally from Japan (although not Japanese) and over there, > there are plethora of products specifically made for mite combat. > Yes, mites, not fleas, ticks, spiders, and roachs as it is common in > the states.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 That looks like just what the doctor ordered! Not only does it appear to be a non-toxic method of collection, but it gives people a way to see what is (or is not) in the environment. Might need a microscope. Why don't you bring back a couple of thousand with you? lol Bessie In bird mites , " kihunshin " <kihunshin@...> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm originally from Japan (although not Japanese) and over there, > there are plethora of products specifically made for mite combat. > Yes, mites, not fleas, ticks, spiders, and roachs as it is common in > the states.
