The exterminator for my dad’s house said if we can’t seem ‘um we can’t treat ‘um. He also had bed bugs and roaches. So I opted for the heat treatment which means they bring machines and heat of every room to around 128 degrees to fry them. It seemed to destroy the mites too. But we were clearing the house out to sell so 95% of everything was pitched which eliminated items where these things could burrow. All carpet, bedding and soft furniture like couches and recliners.
The roaches were so bad a lot of stuff was dumped regardless. Never again…But yes you can capture them with clear tape but must be fresh for testing before they decay after death. Can’t see them with naked eye, devils!In the beginning I read they could not complete life cycle on humans. That was almost 2 years ago, so unless they live over 2 years I doubt that’s true. They are very hard to get rid of. I’ll paste my 2 cents below and you keep trying various suggestions on this site also. I know its hard and can be lonely battle and energy sapping. I could talk a whole book on what I’ve been thru and many attempted remedies. Hard to keep from being depressed at times.
I understand your situation. I’ve been dealing with bird mites for while. I was attacked clearing my deceased dads house almost 2 years ago and it was a lot of hell at first. I can tell you some good advice but no silver bullet cure for now. The first thing is your diet. Eliminate sugars, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, fast/most can foods and meats except fish (no frying only baked). ): Yes I know. These mite things thrive off these foods/beverages mainly. I love coffee and suffer attack after drinking, have had to curtail intake. If you can’t eliminate, reduce and then reduce intake more. Our normal diets are a breeding ground for these parasites. Also treating rooms if infested is great but if they are burrowed in your skin taking showers only temporary relief, I know. Must attack them internally also with healthy diet and medicines. Look at the suggestions by others on this site. I can recommend Ivermectin paste, drinking lemon/vinegar water and taking antibiotics. I rub head and face with Vaseline/castor oil at night to hinder their movement. I don’t think one relief/cure fits all sufferers. These products have curbed my symptoms but not killed. But controlling my diet very helpful. I am much better than last year, very depressing still. Docs no help for me. Look on this forum and site for others remedies one may be silver bullet for you. I just saw a few more I’m going to try. I feel your pain.
