Mite Control Spray (EM-2615)

Botanical Biocide

DESCRIPTION:
EMIT Mite Spray is a ready-to-use aerosol spray formulation. When sprayed, it provides control of mites with a fine mist of natural plant extracts consisting of Eucalyptus Citriodora oil (H/C) and Geraniol oil. Contrary to popular misconception, mites are not insects but are eight-legged arachnids, relatives of spiders. Not surprisingly, many synthetic insecticides do not kill mites even though it is effective against many other insect pests. Emit Mite Spray is tested to work and is safe to be used on beddings & fabrics in the indoor home environment. Its plant-based formulation makes it safe to be used around children and pets.
(Test spray at an inconspicuous area to check for staining before mass application)

FOR USE:
Control of mites, dust mites on carpets, rugs, bedding materials, upholstery, and toys made from fabric.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

This formulation works as follows;

1. Hydrated Eucalyptus citriodora oil (H/C) - Natural plant extracts obtained from the leaves of the Corymbia Citriodora plant using steam extraction and refined to increase the PMD level to increase its repellency effect.

2. Geraniol - Natural plant extracts from Palmarosa grass penetrate deeply into the finely ramified respiratory system of insects and larvae, killing the pests.

Can be safely used around children & pets.

Geraniol, the primary component in Palmarosa essential oil (Cymbopogon martini var. motia) was proven in a 2008 research study to be one of the most effective essential oil constituents for naturally reducing dust mites (which can aggravate respiratory allergies) and is considered more effective than DEET

FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does it take to kill dust mites?
Within a day. Natural products take a while longer than synthetic insecticides.

Is it safe to use on children’s bed?
Yes. Both active ingredients are natural plant extracts and break down rapidly in air and safe to use as directed. It is of low transdermal absorption and is not a skin sensitizer or dermal irritant.

Will the itches and allergies disappear immediately?
Dust mites do not bite and the itch and allergies are due to the immune system's adverse reaction to dust mite fecal droppings and their dead carcasses. The application alone kills 99% of the dust mites. However, vacuuming is still strongly advised to remove existing fecal droppings and carcasses from the fabric. Itches & allergies will greatly improve within a week.

Note:
NOT SUITABLE for polished wood, painted surfaces, leather or acrylic plastics. Test small areas of sensitive surfaces for staining before wide-scale application.
