Hi I can’t get pure bleach to kill these things , they are permethrin and deltamethrin resistant too !Mites are easy to kill. In 1 gallon of water mix 1/2 cup laundry detergent.
Spray the bugs. The soap coats them and they can not breathe, and die. One or two treatments should do it.
DO NOT GET THIS ON YOUR PLANTS.
i read about them , they are a problemUntil the end try points for the rats are covered and you are able to properly fumigate there is no getting rid of them. You need to call the housing council. They will take care of it. About the only avenue I see.
Thanks yes I got some de earth down , I’ve no pets and my girl is older she won’t go near it, but I probably need more down. so far nothing is slowing them down. The rats are behind the kitchen cupboards in the walls, in wall gaps .as mentioned above DE works for the crawlers,if you werent with child i would suggest Borac acid,extremly toxic to animals ,with a child i would not use ,you go around all room edges on floor boards and put also in cabinets, not much just use a spoon and make a tight line against the edge ,same with the floor space a fine line tucked into the edges all the way around room,thing is and mentioned already got to get ride of the vermin first to cure your mite biz. on third floor im sure there isnt any stacked wood or food scraps ,but they are there because there is food somewere, seek out those areas .
BUT LIKE I SAY WITH A CHILD OR PETS DONT DO THIS it will kill the rats and deter the crawlers,then you can use the soap method and wipe um out
I did I managed to ( after 3 months wait) fix the rat proofing, but sadly they are not interested in fixing the mite issue because they are lying and saying I don’t have anything wrong here.Until the end try points for the rats are covered and you are able to properly fumigate there is no getting rid of them.

If you fog with Hydrogen Peroxide everyone in the building has to evacuate for at least a couple hours. Its a very serious cloud of sanitizing gas you must not breathe.I did I managed to ( after 3 months wait) fix the rat proofing, but sadly they are not interested in fixing the mite issue because they are lying and saying I don’t have anything wrong here.
We both know wen u get rats running around for days u can get infested with ticks and mites , sadly they are not being responsible because several of the flats are infested and it’s expensive to put right so they lie and say they can’t see anything wrong , this saves them fortunes in pest control prices and replacement of furniture as it’s their issue rat proofing broken behind cupboards is for them to pay out but they don’t they just ignore calls and pleas to help and keep taking the rent. Lol. As I say I’ve had the rat proofing fixed , but it was a carpenter they sent to do the job what he never told me is a mite & tick problem was starting and nothing was done even tho he left itching!
Thanks for all the help I’ll try to get more gaps fixed and probably try elector PSP if that don’t work I’ll fog with hydrogen peroxide.
I can’t live like this it’s torture not fair on my daughter either, cheers tho !! Gina
if you can see the holes they are coming threw,use steel wool to block the holes,they cannot chew threw it ,ive used it in house before while remodling them, spinosad might do the job but it is costly for what you intend to do,it aint gonna fix it with one application, something i use in my garden for outside critters mainly coons and porcupines,is mexican food i call it,i light um up with every kind pepper the store sales,take every hot pepper you can get hold of also garlic and onion ,boil it down for a while until you have a really good broth ,when i make mine about the time the wife says what are you doing is when i pull it from the stove hahahah,but the let it cool and put it in a spray bottle and go to town on them,be aware it will run them off,you will see the spiders running no joke,but they will come back.Thanks yes I got some de earth down , I’ve no pets and my girl is older she won’t go near it, but I probably need more down. so far nothing is slowing them down.

I know coz they broke rat proofing there.stupid me I took too long to spray place, so now I’m in trouble.
Do u no if spinosad ( elector PSP) works on spider mites ? Maybe it would kill rat mites too, but these things are super hard to kill.
Thankyou for your advice it’s all very appreciated mate Gina.
I feel for you. I have never dealt with rat mites but I have bird mites and they are beyond AWFUL and the bites give me a reaction that itches like mad. You have a major problem Gina but I am afraid you are going to need to get rid of the rats first. I am going to assume they have nests that is the source. I would desperately try to call a professional ASAP if you can. The mites itself are easy to kill.....at least bird mites....Water with soap spray but I think maybe under the flat they have a nest or something. Make sure there are no old bird nests too but again, I think the rats are there cause the mites wouldn't live that long without a host
Aww u got chickens lol in London u don’t see them except in supermarkets lolFor bird mites on my chickens I just dunk them in soap and water and let the soap dry. Dries them out pretty quick
Yeah , but every time I vacuum I get bitten like lots can’t see what does it tho too small but if I move something try to hoverVaccumming may be your best approach temporarily but yeah I think you need to call the city or something rather. Rats are like wolves and are strong in numbers and much smarter than people think. They can also get out of control quickly and it sounds like rat mites are worst case
Oh my days ur so right.if you can see the holes they are coming threw,use steel wool to block the holes,they cannot chew threw it ,ive used it in house before while remodling them, spinosad might do the job but it is costly for what you intend to do,it aint gonna fix it with one application, something i use in my garden for outside critters mainly coons and porcupines,is mexican food i call it,i light um up with every kind pepper the store sales,take every hot pepper you can get hold of also garlic and onion ,boil it down for a while until you have a really good broth ,when i make mine about the time the wife says what are you doing is when i pull it from the stove hahahah,but the let it cool and put it in a spray bottle and go to town on them,be aware it will run them off,you will see the spiders running no joke,but they will come back.
if you baby is of age to know better and stay away from the borac id go that route if they are as bad as you say,just use a spoon and make a line against the wall and cabinet edges all around every wall ,then spray, you should be able to buy anything with lye in it will do,they cant stand the smell for long ,this even hold coach roaches at bay. borax soap is good ,but i prefer the real deal when im messing with them , i had a a house in the city i was remodling and had rats bigger than cats,had a couple steel rat traps the just took off with,guess they went to the lake to party hahah so i had to tether the damn traps ,they wouldnt come in house or attic after the acid treatment,dang neighbors would set food out for the feral cats ,but the cats ate the food instead of the rats lol.
believe me i understood why when i got a rat that even with the trap snapped on it neck i still had to kill and these traps sale on amazon ,they have teeth around edge of trap and that sucker was still alive trying to break the tether .
i really hate to be the one to tell you your fighting a losing battle,but if the neighbors dont get on board with the eradication the rats will win
Yes !!!!!If you have a landlord, this is THEIR problem to fix. Not sure about the UK, but rent should cover the maintenance fees. This sounds like a crazy situation of infestation, and your landlord not doing anything puts your child’s health at risk. At least that’s how it would be framed in Canada. Easier said than done, but this sounds extreme
HahaI would get some peppermint oil. Pure peppermint oil. And mix it with a little bit of mineral oil. And use a smoke generator to blast the mist into the walls where the rats are.

[Advanced technology] It works on the EVAP system (we also have another version that specially designed for EVAP system). EVAP System Test: Leakage of the fuel evaporation system will cause fuel vapor to leak into the atmosphere, causing waste and pollution or unstable engine idling.www.ebay.co.uk
Then you have to seal everything with a gap greater than a couple millimeters. So new rats don't come in. They hate peppermint. It's better than walls full of dead and poisoned rats. I would accuse the rats of saying mean things to you on Facebook and make the police come get them.
Yeah ur rite I use one and brown tape wen it runs out lolA lint roller was very useful in the past when we had a flea infestation. Maybe try that too
