“…Agents like tannic acid, Benzyl benzoate, Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, tri-n-butyl tin maleate, pirimiphos methyl and even “essential oils” like methyl eugenol have been described in the literature to effectively kill mites [244–248]. However, they are all dangerous at some concentration and cannot be recommended for use by patients or homeowners [199].…”

Since mite allergens are the most relevant inducers of allergic diseases worldwide, resulting in significant morbidity and increased burden on health services, the International Collaboration in Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (iCAALL), formed by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), and the World Allergy Organization (WAO), has proposed to issue an International Consensus (ICON) on the clinical consequences of mite hypersensitivity. The objectives of this document are to highlight aspects of mite biology that are clinically relevant, to update the current knowledge on mite allergens, routes of sensitization, the genetics of IgE responses to mites, the epidemiologic aspects of mite hypersensitivity, the clinical pictures induced by mites, the diagnosis, specific immunotherapeutic approaches, and prevention.

“…Abidin and Ming (2012) also demonstrated that a commercial air ionizer kills HDMs and can be used to reduce natural mite populations on exposed surfaces. In addition, various chemicals such as benzyl benzoate, DEET, and dibutyl phthalate have been used to control HDM populations (Suhaili and Ho 2008;Uehara et al 2006).…”

Essential oils obtained from three medicinal plant species, namely, cinnamon (Cinnamomum bejolghota [Buch.-Ham.] Sweet), citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus Rendle), and clove (Syzygium aromaticum [L.] Merr. & L. M. Perry), were sprayed on allergenic materials (house dust plus spent mite medium produced by the European house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus [Trouessart]) to evaluate the effects of the oils on allergen levels. A 1% solution of each essential oil in 95% ethanol was sprayed on the allergenic materials (which contained about 50 µg of allergen per gram of material), and 95% ethanol, water, and untreated allergenic materials were used as controls. The sprayed materials were allowed to stand for 48 h, and then allergen levels were analyzed by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The results showed that the essential oil from C. bejolghota reduced the amount of allergen 99.4%, and the essential oils from C. nardus and S. aromaticum reduced the amounts by 77.1% and 74.0%, respectively. In contrast, the 95% ethanol control reduced the amount of allergen by only 9.8%.

“…The acaricide activity of this component industrially applied to samples of carpets, mattress foam, and fabrics was verified by UEHARA et al, 2006 8 . Organotins are used for industrial and agricultural purposes and as microbe-inhibiting agents, being significantly more toxic than inorganic tins.…”

SUMMARYThe aim of the present study was to verify the activity of the Tri-N-Butyl Tin maleate compound against Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger, after its industrial application in 40 samples of carpets of different materials (polypropylene, polyester, polyamide and wool). The qualitative assays were performed through two methodologies: Inhibition Halo (HZ) and Inhibition of Surface (Print). The carpet with the product inhibited 100% of bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Aspergillus niger) growth, under the conditions of this study. The microbial inhibition was higher in upper portion of carpets. The methodologies employed appear to be adequate to test the bactericide and fungicide activities of the Tri-N-Butyl Tin maleate. The print methodology confirmed the results obtained by the inhibition zone assay. Further studies using the same methodologies are needed to confirm our results.
