I agree – chemical pesticides are very dangerous to human as well as animals. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for this information … and for explaining the difference between a pesticide and a repellent. I personally believe that synthetic pesticides are not only unsafe for humans but unsafe for animals as well.

Yes, Neem Oil is another option. However, it does not affect the range of species that Greenbug and the active ingredient of cedar can control. With Greenbug, you can use it on yourself to repel mosquitoes and ticks, spray on surfaces or the ground to kill as well as repel ants, roaches, bed bugs, head lice, termites, and just about any pest you don’t want. However, Greenbug is harmless to beneficial creatures like ladybugs, butterflies and the very important honey bees.

What about Neem Oil? This is a bio oil and is very useful for controlling pests at home and garden. It is not very toxic and have no negative effect on Eco system.

Sorry – I didn’t understand the question. If the sprinklers are activated by smoke detection, it could be an issue. Is there any way to temporarily disengage them or at least disengage the detection mechanism? But here is some interesting trivia – a bed bug infestation was so bad once that it triggered a sprinkler system because of the lack of air circulation at the monitor. That wouldn’t happen with mites as they are so small but that does give you an idea how pests can infiltrate even the most unlikely spots.

Let me know what you find out about the sprinklers because fogging with Greenbug will take care of the mites.

Thanks for your reply concerning my smoke alarm. I had not thought about that. My concern is that my sprinkler system in the ceiling might be set off.szx

Hi Bonnie – I sympathize with you if you have mites as they are extremely frustrating! Smoke alarms are typically set off by fogging as it is a dense substance in the atmosphere if done correctly. I suggest you disengage it temporarily and contact your monitor system ahead of time to explain what you are doing. You can reconnect it within 3 hours or so. But the ultimate goal of getting rid of the awful mites is well worth a temporary lack of smoke alarm coverage.

We haven’t listed it on our website yet, but we also offer a great fogger rental program for those treating for mites and/or bed bugs. So far, everyone who has used it has raved about the success of the single fogging treatment to rid their homes of pests. Please contact our office at 843-271-6755 if you’d like more info or email back and I can send some info via email.

All the best!

We have mites of some kind. This site has been very helpful. I have a fire safe sprinkler system and want to know if a fogger would set it off.
