Guest guest Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 How are u now bill? Was dismayed u had some bites! Are u sure u think the biters came from the cat? Diatemeous earth lightly rubbed in may help. Failing that if cat is fit n.healthy frontline or revolution spot on may help But only if cat is healthy as my cat wasnt well enough to cope with insecticide:-( I would try the d earth first however.

Prices vary. I put all papers in a box & then put them in the car , place tank in car & open valve ,close & lock door , wait 3-8hrs , get vacuum out place it next to car to look like I am Cleaning my car , hold my breath & open all doors & walk up wind & let the car air for 1 hr , I have found 1 gassing to be effective for 3 months on papers. Also all life forms in the car are killed , but not the eggs , I must repeat to cure the car , in 3 days the conquers the eggs , there may be many many eggs & repeating goes on & on . > Co2 attracts predators like mosuitos, fleas, mites & the like so washing the outside of the car with 1 teasp Dawn soap per gallon of water is a good idea while gassing. It might be better to use nitrogen gas instead of co2 . Both are a simalar price , but you get more cubic ft of co2 for the money . Both are non Flamable. > I gas my laptop daily n a 2.5 ziplock bag & place it in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid , it keeps it bug free.

It is normally present in the air at a concentration of 0.03% by volume. Any increase above this level will cause accelerated breathing and heart rate. A concentration of 10% can cause respiratory paralysis and death within a few minutes.

And what's really bothering me right now are those mites, I do feel them around. A whole lot were in my papers in the freezer, landed up throwing out most, even what I needed. Second question, can you put papers in microwave, have one here but never used one. I tried the ironing but a lot got away into the room.>> > > > > > >> > > > > > >Hi C,> > > > > > >> > > > > > >No, the entemologist I was speaking to at the time advised > > > > me to> > > > > > push the mattress out of my bed and stick some clear tape onto > > > > my> > > > > > springs and bed frame between > midnight and 1 a.m. when the mites> > > > > > are most active.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'd try Revolution before DE. It's more standard treatment and it took care of my kitty.
