Sadly, people who suspect they have mites are routinely brushed off by the medical community as “crazy” (Parasitic psychosis). At Wondercide, we know that an individual describing the torment and horror of oozing skin lesions and sensations of bugs biting and crawling under their skin is not a delusion, rather the attack of a microscopic mite parasite.

Because they are both surface and airborne, mites are a difficult parasite to understand and control, especially when they attack humans.  You may or may not know there are numerous species of mites. Some humans are bothered by them and some fortunately are not. Some mites live on plants and infest agriculture crops. While dust mites can cause severe allergies for people and affect their respiratory system.  Other people complain of skin mites and bed mites, which may all be the same mites.  We do not claim to be experts on each and every type of mite inhabiting planet Earth, but have over the years been exposed to a variety of dilemmas created by mites.  Through lab, field tests, and customer feedback of personal experiences, it is known that Wondercide’s BioDefense will kill and control a long list of mites without using toxic chemicals, which have no effect anyway.

Daily applications of BioDefense indoor pest control to the body appear to be extremely effective and are 100% safe. The formulation is limited to penetration of the epidermal layer of skin and will not migrate into the blood stream to cause nausea or other health issues.

Wondercide makes no explicit guarantees as to results of BioDefense in mite control, but will relate to you that after years of on-going field experience and testing, it appears that the miticide BioDefense is one of very few mite and ear mite treatment products that will kill mites of many varieties without poisoning you, your kids, pets or household with dangerous neuro-toxic chemicals.

Fogging with BioDefense has brought relief to hundreds of homes troubled by mite infestations. We suggest the same mite treatment would benefit you. We do not have all of the answers, but feel we are getting closer to having the majority of them. Since it is impossible to identify all of the different species of mites, it is somewhat difficult to make claims of 100% control. We will continue ongoing experiments and compile feedback from our customers to pass the findings on to everyone.

As to the comprehensive testing done by Iowa State for the USDA, the results will not be released until the commentary and objection period has been concluded.  Our understanding is that published data will be forthcoming by mid 2010, subject to the objections of the Chemical Companies that consistently insist on lobbying against Chemical Free and Biological products.  We can only pass on to you the statistical results that we received verbally and those that are obviously confirmed by users of the product. Of the 30 Chemical and Non Chemical products tested, only BIODEFENSE enjoyed a 100% mortality rate.  Second in place was Methyl Bromide, a very toxic chemical substance and it produced only a 19% mortality rating.  All others were below 10%.

Since mite issue experiences vary among our customers we find that it’s helpful to communicate with others that have suffered too. For good information regarding Mites and their control check out Wondercide blog!

Increasing pesticide use is changing the profile of insect and other pests that Australian farmers must contend with, and genetically modified (GM) crops are set to bring their own changes, experts say.

Ecological geneticist Dr Andrew Weeks from the University of Melbourne and colleagues report their findings in the Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture.

In the first study of its kind, Weeks and colleagues compared recent reports of winter grain pests with those dating back as far as 1980.

In both Victoria and Western Australia they found pests such as armyworms and pea weevils have declined, but other pests such as mites and lucerne fleas have been on the rise.

“One of the big things that we found was that a couple of species of mites, which weren’t even really recorded early on, had become quite prevalent now,” said Dr Weeks, who is based at the Centre for Environmental Stress and Adaptation Research.

Unfortunately, he says mites are one of the harder pests to control.

While some of these changes are likely to be associated with drier climates, the researchers say that there has also been an increase in pesticide use.

Dr Weeks says drought-stressed farmers worried about losing their crop to pests have been carrying out extra “insurance” sprays of pesticides before they put in their crops.

“While pesticide use has increased, it’s knocking out a lot of your other pests but it’s not harming these [the mites] as much,” he said.

He also says the greater herbicide use has led to a decline beneficial species like carabid beetles that are effective predators of slugs and snails.

Dr Weeks says the drought has also encouraged many farmers to reduce the tillage of their soil, by using herbicides to kill unwanted plants and keeping the stubble in the ground to reduce evaporation, but this may help slugs and snails to thrive.

New agricultural technologies, such as GM crops, are also likely to be a driver in changing the pests that farmers have to face, says Dr Weeks.

For example, he says, canola which has been genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides will enable farmers to eradicate most weeds.

While this will lead to a decrease in pests that harbour in weeds, it may lead to a rise in pests that can survive in such environments, he said.

He says the absence of weeds may also reduce the number of beneficial organisms that act as a natural check on pests.

“If you’ve got a very barren landscape … the chances are the pests are going to be greater,” Dr Weeks said.

According to Dr Weeks, there has been no research in Australia on the impact of how the management of GM crops will affect pests.

“It’s one of weak points at this stage of the whole GM debate,” he said.

Crops engineered to exude the Bt insecticidal toxin are likely to reduce pesticide applications, Dr Weeks and colleagues add.

But a major concern is the development of resistance in the insects they are designed to control, the researchers say.

This resistance can be delayed with the use of “refuges” of non-GM crop, they add.

“This, however, may not always be the case, and any new insecticidal transgene incorporated into crop plants must be thoroughly tested on a range of organisms and ecosystems,” the researchers write.

The research was funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation.

Have you ever seen anything through a microscope? Ever watched a Discovery Channel Show that shows pictures of the smallest things, not visible to the human eye without magnification? The beautiful things that doctors get to see such as rushing blood cells, the DNA double helix, and the unsurpassed clarity of a perfect diamond.

Now imagine the not so pretty things….the viruses attributed to e.bola and influenza or DUST MITES. I draw attention to the dust mites and compare it to e.bola and flu after a very interesting and chilling conversation I had with a friend recently. We discussed the prominence of dust mites in the home and how responsible they are for many illnesses. SHOCKING! Did you know that one of the most strongly allergenic materials found indoors is house dust? Even more, did you know that house dust is composed of dead skin and fecal pellets from dust mites? Typical allergies consist of hay fever, watery eyes, runny nose, itching, sneezing, and difficulty in breathing. Scientists say that most concentrations of dust mites are found in mattresses, bedroom carpeting, and household furniture.

While maintaining a clean home and environment will help , and a good hot wash will kill the mites, that’s only for things that can be washed. What about your mattress, furniture, carpet? How do you treat those? To date, there have been no confirmed pesticides labeled to treat for mites, and before recommendations are made in the U.S. the EPA will have to approve it.

Well have no fear, WONDERCIDE is here. I use this bio-solution to treat my animals and home for pests. It has completely replaced all pesticides in my home and yard, and because it is 100% non-toxic I can use it on my children and pets. I couldn’t be happier. I have tried it on everything from mosquitoes to roaches, fleas, ticks, flies, scorpions, ants, chiggers, head lice, and now dust mites. After having that talk with my friend, I realize now how responsible they are for my mornings of waking up and not being able to breath. And how gross they actually are. After I stripped my bedding and sprayed the mattress with Wondercide, I woke up breathing as easily as ever. I can’t believe it!
