Invisible bites - Does anyone know how to rid Black Pepper mites?
Asked Oct 24, 2010, 05:12 PM
—
20 Answers I have read the invisible bite stories with no solutions. However, I do believe I know what is biting me (not my Mother) and sometimes my husband. I rid our home of a fruit rat (live in Florida) that had made his/her way into my attic. It was around this time a little bit later that I noticed I was a meal for something and it was leaving bites all over my body. I also noticed there is a foul odor when you come upon them and they are "jumping you". Also, I started seeing these little black/brown dots and orange dots and little specks. FINALLY, my husband and I put it all together (AFTER he saw the DOTS move and saw it was many of something) and started searching the internet to see if that rat being gone had anything to do with it. Well it appears so. That was their host. They don't leave the nest unless they lose their host. They have invaded me and my animals and my home! I am the only one that smells them. These things love hair! I am still PRAYING DAILY and using a natural flea spray that seems to jar them but doesn't stop new ones from hatching. I am still searching for something that will kill these things once and for all so I can return to a normal life. Right now I cannot sleep in my room. I have to wash clothes daily, spray daily, vacuum, wash down sinks and counters and drawers. If anyone has found a way to rid these once and for all, please give me the secret? I have no way of finding the nest in the attic due to insulation and it would be impossible. Not to mention, I have to kill what is in the house and hatching. Thanks! |

| One of the major helps to getting rid of any infestation is to find where they are hiding and take care of those places. I highly recommend contacting a pest control company (maybe even a couple of them) in your area that knows about mites. Many give free inspections and plans on how they would handle the problem. Don't be afraid to ask questions. | ||||

| I have found that the pest control company don't even know what you are talking about. I had mine come out and bomb my attic. But they were clueless on the pepper mites. I called my old one...same. Thanks though Cat. Trust me I've been down the road of what SHOULD be an answer and it is frustrating when Pest Control companies are stumped or tell you good luck finding the nest in insulation. They leave you feeling helpless/hopeless. I KNOW that is ridiculous. People HAVE to have a way to rid these things. | ||||

| We have the exact same thing-going on 10 months now. Bathe in borax,sea slat,and apple cider vineagar( and/or arm&hammer powdered detergent and lemon bleach(1 cup each per bath).soak as long as possible then rinse off in shower(final rinse as cold as possible). Cold water opens the pores and makes them come out. The more you can do this and wipe them off the faster they will go away! Flea sprays do help a bit. Windex (blue liquid w/ammonia)does seem to stun them or kill some of them! Gold bonds lotion(green bottle) hellps and neem oil mixed w/any lotion. They seem to "live under the skin" in ears,nasal,vaginally etc. They come in and out of the skin? You can feel them crawling yet, no bug just a little black dot? My 6 yr old son and I have gotten rid of them a few times yet keep getting reinfested? Hey live on surfaces such as rugs,computers, etc. For at least 10 months? Sulfer bar soap is a necessity this does kill hese things but, key is to directly get these products on the bugs. Head &shoulder's shampoo which can also be used as a body wash helps... I do clean everything w/bleach&borax and hot as you can water... These things are very smart mites that's for sure. They hear water running and even before you get into the shower-they are running for cover? | ||||
