How do you get rid of mites in your house?

Answer 1

If you are asking the question about carpet-mites: do not worry overmuch about this, we have lived with them for decades with no real problems. Just keep the carpets clean with the usual vacuum cleaner, and relax, regardless of how some vacuum cleaner companies tend to go on and on about their special, powerful new vacuum cleaner that gets rid of all those mites. If your carpet has a huge collection of mites and fleas, that's different. If your home has many mites and fleas causing ill-health, probably, you have kept an animal inside for some long time, and need to clean the home doubly hard daily, if you really like your animals to stay inside. I had no problems keeping cats in my home, because I organised ways for them to go outside when they liked, and to come inside when they liked. Its' better to organise an alcove for them to live in, instead of allowing them to roam around your home, give them a nice cosy place to sleep, good foods etc.

Answer 2

Mites are tiny creatures that cannot be seen by the naked eye. About twenty percent of people are allergic to them. Mites can be on dogs or cats, or in dust in carpets, pillow cases, and mattresses. Only heat can kill the mites.

Answer 3

This will depend on what exactly the mites are - some mites are easily treated with a single injection of a parasiticide while others are very resistant to treatment and can only be controlled at best. The best option for your dog at this point would be to take it to your veterinarian for an examination. Unfortunately, the longer you wait to start treatment, the more difficult it is to treat and the more secondary problems (like skin infections and severe itchiness or pruritus) you will also be dealing with.

Itch mites? No such bug. If you want to decipher why your dog is itching, may want to look into food Allergies or flea allergies. Long after fleas are gone could still aggravate an allergic itch reaction. Also, try coal tar shampoo for skin conditions. Work well on ppl as well as animals for certain irritative conditions
