Abstract

The lethal effects of two types of oxygen absorbers on the eggs of the house dust mites, Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus, and Tyrophagus putrescentiae were studied. For D. farinae, and D. pteronyssinus, the mortality obtained after 2 days in an air-tight container with iron (Fe)-type oxygen absorbers was 100%, while an ascorbic-acid-type oxygen absorber needed 5 days to obtain 100% mortality. On the other hand, the two types of oxygen absorbers showed no significant lethal difference on T. putrescentiae.
