Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 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...
