Apartment treatment for scabies mite elimination

To completely get rid of scabies mites, it is not enough to apply the prescribed ointment to the affected skin areas. Medication can eliminate the mites under the skin, but their eggs, larvae, or adult mites may remain on objects you've touched.

Eggs or larvae are impossible to detect without special equipment — adult mites measure only 0.1–0.4 mm in size.

Items can be treated for scabies using:
  • Hot water
  • Exposure to low temperatures
  • Household products
  • Special chemical agents for eradicating subcutaneous parasites
  • Professional treatment by Profilactix specialists

Based on our experience, only 15–20% of people properly treat their home, furniture, and belongings to eliminate scabies mites.

This is one of the most contagious parasites, capable of infecting a person through the slightest contact. Most people overlook the fact that mites can hide in small gaps in beds, armchairs, mattresses, and other furniture. Superficial cleaning does not destroy all mites, and they remain capable of causing infection. That’s why many patients experience relapses.

Achieving 100% eradication of scabies mites requires a full range of professional equipment, modern technologies, and the latest chemical agents used by Profilactix specialists. All products are safe for people, animals, and sensitive surfaces in your home.

The treatment methods we use daily are simple, effective, and technologically advanced.

Our technician selects the appropriate method based on the specifics of the area being treated. They consider its purpose, size, presence of hard-to-reach or inaccessible spots like closed niches, built-in furniture that cannot be moved, and other layout details.

In this matter, it makes sense to trust a professional. Our specialists consider many factors before treating a space and know exactly how to eliminate scabies mites effectively.

We provide documented guarantees for our work — that's why we strive to deliver high-quality results.

Preparing your home for scabies mite treatment

Before the Profilactix pest control team arrives, you should prepare your home:

Even though the insecticides are safe for humans and animals, some precautions must be taken:
  • Do a wet cleaning of the entire apartment
  • Remove shelves, paintings, and ensure access to corners by moving furniture
  • Empty all cabinets and drawers that will be treated
  • Carefully pack food, dishes, children’s toys, hygiene items, and small objects in plastic bags

If moving heavy furniture is difficult due to a lack of able-bodied adults, Profilactix technicians can assist. Proper preparation will make their job easier and help you achieve complete results.

Cleaning after treatment for scabies mites

Right after treatment, it's best to leave your home for a few hours. Do not open windows or ventilate the space — the treatment solution needs time to destroy the mites and dry fully. Maintaining high concentrations of the active substances in the air and on surfaces is crucial for effective results.

Follow these steps afterward:
  • When you return, ventilate the apartment thoroughly
  • Wipe down frequently used items and surfaces
  • Unpack and wash dishes under running water before putting them back
  • Do not do wet cleaning for two weeks — during this time, the dried treatment solution will continue killing any remaining mites or larvae

Remember: scabies mites are dangerous and can survive for months in items and furniture. Only professional treatment guarantees their complete elimination and ensures the safety of your health and that of your loved ones.
