Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 A friend watched Oprah today and got freaked out. The show was on Dust Mites. I recall some talk and or some research somewhere on an essential oil used to rid of dust mites. I searched my files and found an old post from Lowana on using Eugenol to control dust mites. This is not the one I was looking for. Anyone having any knowledge please let me know.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Hi Sandi, I hear they did some tests with Clove oil in Asia a few years back. Worked better than DEET as I recall. I'll try to find the info! *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Sandi Lundberg [injoy] A friend watched Oprah today and got freaked out. The show was on Dust Mites.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 Hi Sandi, I'm sure Tea Tree (melaleucala alternifolia) is effective killing dust mite at 0.8%. Still searching for where I found the info (I think it was research done by Penfold). Will let you know if I find it.
