rodent/bird mites are gone!

It worked, the rodent/bird mites are gone!!! Fill a large spray bottle with water, a splash of witch hazel, and a whole bunch of drops of essential oils (lavendar, eucalyptus and/or tea tree). The more the better (from 30-50 drops). Spray your entire house and car 2-3 times a day (esp. curtains, carpets, couches, pillows, comforter). The theory is that the mites communicate through pheremones. These scents interfere with their ability to communicate so they go elsewhere. It took about a month but they are completely gone. I also dropped the essential oils into my hair, skin and bath products. In addition, I kept my house clean, changed my sheets often, showered twice daily and washed my clothes a lot and stuff. But spraying my house with the essential oils was definitely the turning point. In hind site, I definitely wouldn't buy a new mattress and wash everything in my closet. The spray should be enough. It takes patience cause it doesn't kill them. If you persist, they'll stop coming around.
