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)Yes it happened to me. Everywhere I go they go. They get in your things and travel that way. They also travel in your hair and clothes. I also believe they are in the environment outside at my house. I believe the only way to beat them is by moving and leave everything behind and start completely over. You would need to make sure they are off of you before moving in the new house too so you wouldn’t want to move straight there. It takes 7 days for eggs to hatch so you would need to treat yourself longer than that before moving in. I’ve been dealing with it almost 2 years and have moved twice but I didn’t leave everything behind. I was very careful but I still took them with me. It’s a serious problem for sure. I want to mention that steam mopping the floor helps me keep the numbers down and I know Lysol kills them but my house is too large to spray as often as I would need to to get rid of them. I’m fixing to try diet and eliminate sugar and gluten. I know I have a yeast problem, I’m hoping if I get rid of that it will help.
One more thing. I don’t make the bed up with clean sheets until I am ready for bed. That keeps me out of the room until sleep time. I also taped the legs of the bed with double sided tape. I also don’t have the bed against the wall.
What has helped me is this: I sleep in a spare bedroom that has nothing in it except my bed. I bought one of those folding metal frames and a tri fold mattress on Amazon and encased the mattress. I don’t go in there except to sleep and its right after my shower. In the morning when I wake up I take the sheets and blankets off and put them in a garage bag and put it in the freezer for a few days before washing. Then I spray the bed mattress (underneath too, thats what the folding mattress helps with), frame and floor underneath with Lysol. I spray the walls about every few days. I spray my pillow with 190 proof vodka and put it in a garage bag. It will be evaporated by bedtime. After my bath I do nothing except go straight to bed. This is very important. I very seldom get bit at night with this
routine.Hi, I was wondering if you could give the exact recipe for the pine sol, citric acid you used on your floors?
I tried these for a few weeks and didn’t see a change. I gave since started seeing a homeopathic doctor in hope they can help me. I’ll let you know.
I really appreciate your post so much. I have often wondered if becoming a vegetarian has caused this to happen as I believe I’m iodine deficient. I’ve scheduled an appointment to find out if I am and whether I may have another problem. I will let you know what happens. Again thanks so much!
I really appreciate the response of FinallyFree and I am going to get myself checked out because I do believe I am iodine deficient because I became a vegetarian last year. I will update once I find out.
