Dust mites - Import export

The high efficacy of BIONEEM is characterized by the pronounced repelling effect of the active substance Margosa extract. Immediately after application the mites exhibit a definite flight reaction. Margosa extract has this significant effect even at a low concentration. The repellent effect remains for several month. Even new added mites leave the treated textile surface within a short time. As a consequence of this repellent effect the allergen content in the treated textiles decreases significant. Because there are less house dust mites obviously less allergens (= mite faeces) will be excreted by the mites. Another effect of lower priority is visible if the house dust mites cannot leave the treated area. Natural bitters covered in the extract spoil the food (skin scales) of the house dust mites and make it unpalatable. The limited food also produces a deficiency in essential proteins and amino acids, which impairs the processes of egg-laying and reproduction. However, the...

BIONEEM is a textile spray for protection against house dust mites in order to lower the allergen count to an acceptable level for allergy sufferers. It consists of an alcohol-based margosa extract formulation. It is applied to mattresses and other textile surfaces in which house dust mites might reside. Treating textiles with BIONEEM directly interferes with the life cycle of the house dust mites since it inhibits infestation by mites and the production of allergens for an extended period of time. In order to guarantee these biological effects, it was necessary to develop a special active substance formulation. We developed BIONEEM specifically for treating textiles and to ensure the simplest possible procedures. The solvent isopropyl alcohol “transports” the active substance quickly and deeply into the mattress with practically no change to the soiling behaviour of the fabric and allows use of the mattress to continue after only a short wait for the solvent to dry and...
