I've only been in the cleaning business for a couple of years, been in business for 33. Loads of experience with insecticides and with this exact problem in another business and in particular with the chemical industry. As a cleaning company and as a result of not being able to obtain either an effective, or, more to the point SAFE mite and flea killer I formulated my own, or rather my contract chemists did under my specific directions on what I wanted. Most of my competitors products are in a powder delivery system with whacking concentration levels that I would not touch with a barge pole. We formulated a product that is in a liquid delivery system, carries only the minimum amount of chemical 'hit' required to do the job without putting a drawing pin in with a lump hammer! and is operator safe, and when the carpet has only just been treated is "wet baby skin proof" that is to say, immediately after treatment you could take baby out of the bath and lay them on the carpet - there would be NO TRANSMIGRATION of chemicals, because they're all gone!!

Send me your email and I'll send a data sheet.
If you need any further info just ask.

WELL...
Funny this topic has risen for me because -
A client  (future?) of mine recently moved into a rather nice Quay type apartment nr Blackpool. They are very nice well to do people, BUT have suffered sever dustmite infestation etc. They went through the channels of infestation sprays from local pests control etc and went on to employ specialisits in the field, all to no avail.

Then on a rec to my Co, I attended site and erradficated the problem. with - Hi temp truckmount Steam -High flow water and awesome vacuumation. The follow-up to this is that MrsX has had NO more problems with the bites off the mites. This is confirmed nearly three months on.

Sorry Glynn,

But dust mites do not bite people - only microscopic scales of their exfoliated skin. ???

Perhaps this was a typing error.

Either way, congratulations on solving her problem.
