Will Steri-Fab Insecticide kill a rat mite infestation?

Answer:

When treating for rat mites, it is important to find the source of the infestation and remove the infested nest along with doing a thorough cleanup. For treatment in the home, we recommend you frequently vacuum all carpet and upholstery and dispose of the bag of vacuum contents in a sealed bag outdoors. Spray Sterifab on couches, chairs and other upholstered furniture where you may spend time resting as it kills on contact. Use Cimexa Dust in all cracks and crevices around the perimeter of the room. Onslaught can be used for a faster knockdown. Thoroughly apply as a fine particle broadcast spray using a hand pump sprayer to infested 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 could take several months to get rid of all the mites. Finding and removing the source of the infestation is very important and is the key to getting rid of the mites.
