Abstract
Disclosed are compositions and methods for eliminating acarids, such as dust mites. The methods include contacting a sheet impregnated with an acarid attracting composition with an object containing acarids. Acarids enter the sheet, which can then be removed to eliminate the acarids. Also disclosed are to acarid attracting compositions and products and kits for attracting, trapping and eliminating acarids.
Claims18
A method for attracting mites comprising providing a composition comprising an attracting agent, wherein said attracting agent is lavandulol in a concentration of from 0.0000001% (v/v) to 0.0095% (v/v) for attracting mites.
A method for attracting and holding mites, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a sheet having a thickness of at least 1 mm and having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites, wherein a sheet having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites is defined as a sheet having pore sizes from less than 1 mm up to 5 mm;
- and
- b) applying on said sheet a composition comprising an attracting agent, wherein said attracting agent is lavandulol in a concentration of from 0.0000001% (v/v) to 0.0095% (v/v) for attracting mites, wherein the composition is applied to the sheet in a concentration per area of the sheet ranging from 5 mL/m2 to 2000 mL/m2.
A sheet for attracting mites having a thickness of at least 1 mm and having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites, wherein the sheet having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites is defined as a sheet. having pore sizes from less than 1 mm up to 5 mm, comprising a composition comprising an attracting agent, wherein said attracting agent is lavanduloi in a concentration of from 0.0000001% (v/v) to 0.0095% (v/v) for attracting mites at a dose ranging from 5 mL/m2 to 2000 mL/m2.
A kit for attracting mites comprising a composition comprising an attracting agent, wherein said attracting agent is lavandulol in a concentration of from 0.0000001% (v/v) to 0.0095% (v/v) and a sheet having a thickness of at least 1 mm and having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites, wherein a sheet having interstices sufficiently large to hold mites is defined as a sheet having pore sizes from less than 1 mm up to 5 mm.
