      Been fighting this nonstop for iver a year you name it I’ve used it everything on here to a t. What has working right now and I figured out and someone else in this sight suggested is switch your method of killing them each week. They get immuned to one thing like premoguard, ammonia, Kleen green, borax. So forth. Especially my clothes is where I noticed it the most. After a week amonia, borax, and I used arm and hammer detergent. Wasn’t working when i first do it it was amazing my clothes sheets so forth. So now o just switched out the amonia to Epsom salt. So switch the way you treat your house, you, and clothes each week. I have moved, been through hell and still battling. But this helped.

      Yeah switching on your weapons but you’re using to stop them. Using water 48 oz warm water over 77 degrees to melt two tablespoons of coconut oil into into the water and spray that everywhere it glows them down. I haven’t been bet while I sleep ever since I start spreading the piece of plastic out on the floor and missed it with that coconut oil water and they could not crawl up on that plastic they could try to drop off the ceiling but I’d spray the ceiling two.. This was years ago I had to do all this I got free of them since then. By using Ted’s mange cure listed on Earth Clinic which is 16 oz of peroxide and 32 oz of water and two tablespoons of borax. It has no smell it has no burn it doesn’t hurt. It’s like water it doesn’t even have any Fizz cuz the borax neutralizes the peroxide. I applied it and left it on till the next shower and it cured up all my bites sores and killed the bug. I had some bad areas I had to use benzoyl peroxide cream 2.5% sold at Acme. Org for twenty bucks for a giant tube it last a long time. I applied benzoyl peroxide cream after I took a shower when I was slightly damp and left it on tell the next shower. It kills the hard ones that are hard to kill in the skin. For my feet I had to soak my feet in rubber boots after I got out of the shower I would slip on the rubber boots from Walmart called Wellington’s for $17 and put in a quarter to a water the couple tablespoons of borax and it would soak my feet clean it took about 60 days to get all of them out of my feet but once they were out I was much better. God bless you thanks for all your tips, bill

      I believe I may have beat the mites. What I did. I live in a large house and did everything I read about to get rid of the mites. I had them bad enough that I wore Nu-Stock mixed with hand cream on my feet daily to keep them off. I also wore closed shoes with no opening and capri slacks. After dealing with it for about 2 years I finally decided I would leave it into God’s hands because I felt I wasn’t going to beat it, that the task was just too large. I stopped doing everything except for general cleaning and I kept those adhesive bug catchers under my bed legs. I kept clean clothes in a garbage bags and showered just before getting into bed. No curtains on the windows, I use vinyl shades. No couch and I got rid of any chair with cloth seats and sat in plastic chairs. What I believe helped me the most, besides prayer, is Everclear grain alcohol. I bought it in the handle size and put it in spray bottles all around my house. Every time I would get bit I’d spray the area on me where I got bit to kill it. I just kept doing that. Eventually after 4 years of dealing with them they started diminishing around March of this year 2025 and now I feel free of them. I no longer wear Nu-Stock and I’m able to put my clothes in a drawer again. I still have my bottles of Everclear in case I need to use it again.
      I just wanted to let everyone know what I did to maybe help others. I know from experience what helped others didn’t always help me but it gave me hope to try. The power of Bible study and prayer is key. Jehovah God (Psalm 83:18) is near to those calling on him in truth. (Psalm 145:18). So I hope what I’ve told you will help you and if you’d like to study the Bible free with Jehovah’s Witnesses go to JW.org and click the link request a visit. It will not only help you cope with your problems but you could gain everlasting life also. (John 17:3)
