Moved

[Guest guest]

Hi Margaret,

Glad your move is over and now to just unpack. After living in the same house

for 30+ years I wouldn't know where to start to pack and unpack. Thinking of

you and Garreth.

Oh Holly, So sorry to hear of your move and the mites following.

Have you tried puffing the Roach Prufe in your truck? It seems to be the best

thing to rid them from the environment.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

My truck is my problem spot, and keeps reinfecting me. I have tried

You have my sympathies. This truly is a nightmare, and I often think nothing

short of abandoning all worldly possessions and frequent moves can truly

eradicate the things off one's person. Fortunately, it sounds like you're close

to being free of the demons. Stay out of that damned truck! Maybe you could rent

vehicles until you're clear, or store the truck and buy a used cargo van - just

plastic inside and hard to infest (per Trlyblst).

I have stayed with friends, etc., and no one has caught it, so with your

acquired skills in subduing these things I imagine you'll have no problem

keeping them to yourself. What I have is apparently not easily transmitted. I

suspect a bird mite infestation on one's person requires repeated exposure to

large mite populations over an extended period.

Holly, I'm so bummmed to hear you still got em. I was going to suggest when you

got to Cali (I think) that you drive to the highest cliff on the ocean, strip

naked, put the truck in gear and let it go when you got there and get a clean

start. Seems like that is what it takes.

Have you tried Cedarcide in the truck? You can buy quart bottles. I also have

been using orange guard on the upholstered parts (whole foods or ace hardwares

or order online). Mine seems to be coming back under control after I got cocky

and let it go a while. Both are pretty safe to use.

Hang in there, we know you will get these ones too like you did in the old

place.

Ha! You are so funny! I emptied a whole bottle of orange guard and Rp'd on top

of it. Still no go. I paid more attention to the things in the back of the truck

than i did to the front of it. Mistake! Our stuff is clear, and the inside is

clearing up with menthol crystal burning, but we cant breathe or see when we

drive LOL. Im also afraid to put the baby in there, so im going to try the CO2

tank before i go in it again. After that i may try emptying a couple of bottles

of Raid...Im desperate.

Good Luck to you

Thanks Vscribe, I wish i could afford to use another vehicle. Im content to stay

at home and not feel mites than leave and get them back on me. How are you? You

have been hitting it hard for a while. Have you started to feel some relief?

have you tried perm? I would recommend a once a week perm treatment. It kills

what is on you, then you pick up more from the environment, but it gives some

relief. And helps bring the numbers down.

Good luck

Hi Holly

I too have a truck that used to reinfest me , I gased it with C02 every 3 days

for 9 days & it pretty muched ended their strong hold. I still gas once per

week if I fell them. I pick them up at the park the dock , the lake , friends

dogs etc.....I had to cover the seat with a 9X12 & #39; plastic drop cloth &

then a seat cover from the auto parts store to keep the un-killable eggs from

hatching and burrowing for their meal. I boiled the seat cover daily . The gas

reaches deep into a cushion , gas will flow where ever water will flow, except

easiier. The 20 lb tank is $5.00 to rent & 12.68 to refill at any welding shop ,

I shop for the best prices.

I never use it in the house because the gas build up & causes my kidneys to

hurt so bad , I do all the gassing outside away from the house

Powder borax & epoms & water work very well to keep them gone.

Hi Holly. Remove the carpet from your driver's side, all the way down to the base of the floor, then you can wash it down there. Get some Bifen I/T and some Nylar, which is an insect growth regulator and mix them together with water, as per the instructions on the bottles. you can buy this from doyourownpestcontrol dot com. Spray the seat down, etc. every time you use the truck, place a clean towel on the floor after you have sprayed down there and use a clean thick towel on the seat, after you have sprayed.

Thanks Bill i think this is the best option. I thought once would work, but i

will do it like this. I could only find co2 at airgas, and they charge $20 to

fill my tank. I will look at welding places.

One question... did you still have to cover the seats after all of the gassing?

or did it take care of it all together?

Thanks so much

THanks Mel, i usually dont drive, but i may try this mixture with the gassing.

The truck is all a velour/velvety material, and the bugs love it. Since i havent

been going in it the bugs are now hitching a ride on my hubbie to get to

me....can you believe that? wow

thanks so much

hi holly. the co2 doesn't completely get rid of them, but it does a good job. i say leave the seats open to the gas; don't put anything on the seats, as you want the gas to penetrate right through the material. it's expensive, but works. repeat it a couple of times. since i removed all carpeting, things have been better for me. good luck, holly.

Hey Holly, we last sprayed about two weeks ago and the latest combination of

chemicals didn't work as well as the prior Tempo regimen. " Exciter " drove the

damn things nuts and seemed to incite a breeding frenzy. I recall another poster

advising to leave the house a few days after spraying this stuff - I should have

followed it. We threw out the upholstered couch which made a huge difference.

Still haven't worked up to getting rid of the mattress and bed, though. We have

it triple-wrapped in plastic but I suspect they're finding their way through

anyway, and no doubt lurking in the wooden posts. My skin's doing much better

with Bill's sulfur lotion recipe (1 part sulfur to 8 parts thick lotion) and

H202/Borax recipe. This lotion is such a relief from the heavy beeswax balms I'd

been slathering myself with. I was a human fly trap! BTW, the lotion I'm using

is Nature's Gate Hemp. This stuff is awesome. Nothing really seems to repel them

enough for my liking. I don't have health insurance or I'd definitely give perm

a go. Does anyone know of a reputable place to order perm online? So relieved

that it's helping you, and thank God you're in a clean environment now.

Hi Holly

The gas only kills live ones , the eggs hatch by heat & vibration & the proper

atmosphere. So I cover the seat & they hatch under the palstic when I drive ,I

put borax there also. It is a battle of attrition .

3 gasings in 9 days only wipes out the colony greatly ( but what a great 9

days it is ) I still have to spray the steering wheel with epso because of the

eggs thet are imbedded there . Borax hinders the hatchlngs.

Heat treating with 3 vidal sasson hair dryers from 3 separate cord on 3

separate circuts might achieve 160 degrees for 4 hours if the car is in the sun

, it will not hurt the hair dryers. I put mine in a rubbermaid tub & it dosent

melt the tub or the hair dryer, ever .

I haven & #39;t tried the heat treating of the car. I need to go buy the 3 hair

dryers & cords, good orange ones from home depot. I achieved 120 degrees in my

bathroom with 1 hair dryer , trying to sweat the bug out . : ( no luck , had

to borax or sulfur creme them off a boil my clothes & soak my house in epsom &

borax & & & & & & ... )

Fumigation is just one of the many ways to kill a bug , the more ways I attack

it the better. My car is free now, but I pick them up at the park , dock , trees

etc so I re-gas the car when ever it gets buggy .

Bye ,

God bless you ,

Bill

Dear Holly,

Your bright and shiny spirit lifted me up when I needed it, and I'm so sorry to hear of your set-back. We had one too right after you moved when the dog and my husband brought some of the monsters in from the yard and we had to get busy - what helped is that we already had things in place (still have the residual Bifen/Nylar on the baseboards and DeltaDust and DE behind walls) and the usual stuff on hand. We got a few gallons of Cedarcide, fogged, and a few days later I replaced the DE all over, and have been burning menthol crystals, and we sprayed the yard again. The Cedarcide is expensive - and not a permanent answer but sure can give you a jump start in the environment when followed up with other measures. The fogger gets it into everything and it's not poison like some of the stuff we use. Mel is right - carpets need to go, get rid of as much fabric furniture as possible and seal up mattress/boxsprings or replace with air mattress. You know all this, I feel so helpless to try to advise - just know my heart aches for you and as Rita says, you can do this. You're in a fresh environment and will probably have to work on that again - ugh is right! Hang in there - it will get better!

All my best,

Judy

Holly, something I just thought of - the Azure sulphur soap (don't know if they have a "Fiesta" grocery store where you are) - it's a 10% sulphur bar soap which really helped us at first. May be something your Dad can live with - it's easy, just scrub good and long with a washcloth, and may help to get them under control for him.

MarieOh girl - I could only imagine how hard it was moving without help! However, there's another thing that you've accomplished through all of this. Your halo glows more and more when these awful things get thrown down on your path.You have a very strong Spiritual Power walking along with you. Take a moment to look back and see how far you have come, even since you first joined us. You are one hella of a superlady. I know that you give me more strength every time you come through one of these trial periods. For sure, you've done things that I could not imagine doing myself.Luv Gloria
