Johnathan from Los Angeles, California writes
I've gone through two exterminator companies and I didn't get a lot of help. According to one company there were bird mites in my home. I found that there is rats in my home and at night I feel jumping or crawling on my body when I go to sleep. I've tried going to the professionals and that didn't help. So since I'm assuming I have rats mites I know I need to get rid of the rats, seal the holes where the rats get in from and find the nest where the rats live after that. What can I use for my attic and home as well as my mattress and clothing to apart for the mites ?
Onslaught will kill mites in general, but the problem with mites is finding the breeding source. Onslaught may provide some relief, however many times mites will breed under carpet or in wall voids, where you cannot spray. This is why treating for mites is very difficult and usually requires multiple products and lots of vacuuming. You can apply monthly on the exterior of the structure for control but the nesting sites that are near the structure should be removed to fully eliminate them. The source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites for good. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested rugs and carpets and other cracks and crevices around the perimeter of each room. Put all clothes through the dryer on high heat to help kill mites and their eggs. We have had many customers use the above recommendations with great success. Most customers report that it can take several months to get rid of all of the mites.
