I have been using Ted's formula for my little dog who is also being eaten alive by these tiny jumping mites and all it is doing is drying out her fur and still being literally swarmed by these mites. I spent about 4 hours last nite dousing her with the formula and finally poured 50/50 ACV over her to get relief, they had gotten down to her anus and she was running around like crazy, thinking she need to go outside, let her out and back in running to room to room. What else can I try to kill these mites in my house. I've been fighting them for 5 years, I have done all the cleaning, vacuing, everything I have found on line, good hygene for her ad me and still they fight you back. Last night she had decided that it was time to sleep on Mama's bed, she has her sheets and blanket and sleeps at the foot of my bed, for the height she has usually feels safe, she will not sleep in her custom made bed because the of the mites buzzing her ears and face so she took the sofa but last night I even felt more activity than I had for some time and when I took her off the bed, where she was standing and I put my hands around her it felt like a million stinging nettles on my hand, they had not come up too much at my pillows but it was amazing how much they had swarmed around her. Even today, most any place I use my hands I'll get bitten by them, I gave her a bath and used a tiny amount of Toni"s formula with dry mustard in her shampoo, just hoping the tiny amount would be strong enough to kill the mites on her. I had burned a citronella candle just a day before hoping they would somehow find a way out. I don't leave my windows and doors open because they are in the air outside and sure make their way to my place. I don't know if they are the same thing I feel on my legs and arms, especially if I have on shorts, I feel them hitting my legs and arms, these don't seem to bit but nothing will kill them. The best luck I've had is straight 3% HP and my whole house is sprayed every day in the am and pm. I know God created the earth and everything on it but why can't he move them to another spot where they don't bite and harm people. Any suggestions on sprays and oils for pooch. I've tried Oregano oil diluted for her, no luck; just something to get them out of my house!!
