RE: Help with Severe Mite Infestation

[Guest guest]

Hi Blusky

What you described sounds like mites.

This fourm is full of help

in a nut shell you have to

clean the house like a hospital,

use cvs brand ant traps in a few rooms (mites eat it also )

soak the mites out of your skin with borax 1 cup to 5 gallons of water with 1/8

cup Dawn dish soap in the tub so it drowns them.

Sulfur treat your skin with 10 percent sulfur & hand creme from www.americarx.

com google americarx flowers of sulfur it will land on their sits , cost is

$10.00 for 12 oz ( you mix it 1 teasp sulfur & 9 teasp hand creme & 1 teasp

coconut oil , or olive oil. )

this is a process , slowly the mites die & you are free. The sulfur will stop

the itch instantly and drive them off of you.

The yard and attic need attention also. g with DE from the gardenstore

will help they say.

remember its a bug , it will die if you soak it in soap for 30 mins. It is a

sudsy mess , but it cleans up nice with a wet vaxuum and rinse water Mixed with

epsom salts , 1 cup per gallon, I don & #39;t want to feed the bug any water only

Undrinkable water. . This Dawn soap or any soap works well and does not kill the

people. .

I boil my clothes. And wear cowboy boots for protection on my feet, I never get

bit on my feet anymore since I switched to boots. I powder the boots with

atheletes foot powder it kills mites

God bless you,

Bill
