you can get it if you look in the right places & it gets rid of mites like nothing else.

did u order vapona? could u let me know how u get on, one thing dont put the whole strip in, for a 4'x2'x2' cut a piece about 2"x1" put it in the vented container and store the remainder in an air tight bag, i used to stick it the celing, leave in for 3 days, then repeat after 5-7 days, again for 3 days.

il be interested how u get on as a good mite treatment is hard to come by and provent a mite is too tricky to track down.

The Vapona that is still around is based on a different chemical. The fly and moth one is only citronella oil.
