found it interesting in relation to the debate of breeding Super-mites.

pests with exoskeletons can't build resistance to (food grade) diatomaceous earth fwiw. i use it internally and externally on myself, my pooch, and my plants.

it plays hell on ants if you can keep it dry...

Saw on news the "super lice" article...resistant to most OTC concoctions. Tsk! Maybe DE is the way to go for head lice, providing you don't inhale (accidental) fine particulate.

Lice hate Tea Tree oil. Don't know about spider mites. We use it as a bug spray too.
Works great if you can stand the smell.

Yeah, tea tree oil, Weet!! The stench! And powerful, too. Keep it in my medicine drawer. Good idea!

Side note....perhaps camphophenic....my cousins rub that in their floppy cocker spaniel's ears....ticks evacuate quick!!
