How to Kill Mites Without Harmful Chemicals?

“...little critters didn’t show up and have NOT shown up… It does what you said it’ll do!” — Lee P.

Mites Are Annoying, Disgusting, and Potentially Dangerous

Once you see a single mite, there’s a good chance there are already thousands of others nearby. These tiny bugs aren’t just a nuisance: they can damage food and plants, irritate pets, cause severe itching in humans, and even transfer illness.1,2,3,4

Some mites can jump onto humans and pets from rodents or birds, potentially transferring health problems. They’re also known to cause grimy, red stains on clothes, walls, carpets, and furniture.5,6 

Cats and dogs can easily pick up mites when they go outside.7 So if you notice your furry friend scratching despite no signs of fleas or ticks, chances are, they have mites biting them. 

Those facing a mite problem are often left with just two choices: use chemical-based pest sprays or hire an expensive exterminator. 

Problem is, these traditional “solutions” can come with problems of their own… 

The Truth About Bug Sprays & Store-Bought “Solutions”

Store-bought bug sprays are the most common “fix,” but they can come with serious risks. Sprays often contain harsh chemicals, which can be harmful for people and pets.3

Professional exterminators can be effective, but they’re expensive and use strong pesticides that can be unsafe for the home.8

Others turn to “home remedies” or DIY solutions, but these aren’t proven to work9 and can be a complete waste of money. 

The good news is, there’s now a reliable and affordable way to help defend your home from risky, annoying mites.  

Thank goodness for BugMD Essential Pest Concentrate…

This Mite-Destroying Solution is Helping Americans Finally Get Control of Their Home

BugMD Essential Pest Concentrate offers an easy, effective way to address pesky mites without risky pesticides or expensive exterminators.

Unlike traditional options, BugMD Essential Pest Concentrate uses real, plant-derived essential oils10 to fight mites. Thousands of Americans are already using this innovative formula to control their mite problems. 

But fair warning… the word is spreading like wildfire about BugMD and most customers are buying in bundles.

I strongly suggest you order now before inventory runs low or supplies completely sell out.

How Does BugMD Essential Pest Concentrate Work?

BugMD pest control spray uses a duo of plant-based active ingredients to neutralize mites on contact.11,12,13

First, Clove Oil, which many consider the first line of defense against a pest invasion. Clove Oil has been shown to work as an effective, plant-based insecticide.14,15 According to Karen Russ, a garden specialist at Clemson University, eugenol — the essential oil found in cloves — kills pests on contact.16

The second special ingredient is Cottonseed Oil, which has been used in agriculture for centuries to ward off all kinds of pests.17 

Unlike chemical sprays, BugMD’s plant-powered solution makes it safe for use around children & pets when used as directed.

Best of all, it’s super easy to use. Simply spray directly onto areas where you’ve seen or suspect mites. For best results, spray directly on mites to kill them on contact.18

It’s Simple To Use + Starts Working Right Away

Just 3 easy steps to start winning your home back from mites:

  1. Pour the contents of one full BugMD Essential Pest Concentrate bottle into a spray bottle with 27oz. of tap water. Shake to mix well.

  2. Spray the solution onto “problem areas”. We recommend saturating these areas for best results. Allow treated spaces to air-dry.

  3. If you happen to see mites, spray the “unwelcome guests” directly until wet.

For best results, make sure to spray hard-to-reach areas where mites tend to hide: carpets, furniture, inside wall voids, pet areas, and more. BugMD is also safe to spray directly even on edible plants, so you can use it on mites feeding in your garden.

Don’t take our word for it... look at these incredible reviews from verified customers:
