The only drawback is that you will have to continually be spraying since the product will dry out on the surface. - PROFESSIONAL EXTERMINATOR - the problem that I experienced was finding an exterminator that deals with mites, and when I did find a company that said they did, the mites were back within 2-3 days. Not good. This happened to me with two other exterminators. So, make sure when you talk with an exterminator ask a lot of questions just to make sure they can indeed treat for mites, and ask for a guarantee. I finally called a friend of mine who works for Orkin and he mentioned that they own a company that deals with wild life removal and insects, including mites. I hired them and they did a great job, and I was finally over my mite problem. The company's name is Trutech and on their web site they list the states where they offer their services: www.trutechinc.com If your state is not listed you might want to contact them and ask how you would locate someone in your area. - DO IT YOURSELF - you can go to this web site and get the chemicals to get rid of the mites, but before ordering online, give them a call and tell them your situation. This is so they can get you just the product you need. http://pestcontrol.domyownpestcontrol.com/ And don't forget you will most likely will have to treat an attic, a crawl space, almost every square inch in your apt or house. Obviously this depends on how bad your situation is and where you are finding the mites. - TIPS - make sure you purchase Diatomaceous Earth. You can buy a small 3 or 5 lb bag at a local nursery, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, or even Amazon. This is a fine powder substance that you spread around the perimeter of each room. This keeps the mites away because when they crawl over the dusting, they are killed. The best way to spread this product is with a Pest Pistol Mini Duster, which you can buy when you purchase the diatomaceous earth. If you try and spread it from your hand or through a strainer it gets all over the place and this is a product that you do not want to be breathing continuously into your lungs. The Mini Duster only shoots out a dusting, and that is all you need, so it is worth the little extra money you need to buy it. If you live in a multiple apartment complex, find out if your neighbors are experiencing a mite problem. If they are then talk with the owners of the building to make sure they are aware of the problem and ask what they are going to do to about it. I mention that because if other units are affected then you will probably have an ongoing infestation of mites. At that point I would consider moving, making sure that you do not bring any mites with you. Hope this information is helpful. If you do have any questions you can always contact me through Mel.
