As results of researches for many years, we discovered fragrances, which attract mites, and materials, which dry and mummify mites. We succeeded to developed the attractant consisted of their materials and has commercialized ダニ捕りマット and ダニ捕りロボ. The attractant is mainly composed of nature originated substances and no chemical insecticides are used.

Performance

Three mechanism which catch and never release mites

① ATTRACT mites powerfully
② DRY AND MUMMIFY mites inside our product
③ LOCK IN mites have been exterminated

① ATTRACT mites powerfully

  • The attractant in the product strongly attract house dust mites　(Pyroglyphidae spp. and Cheyletidae spp.)　burrowed into your bedding and carpets, and the mites get into the attractant mat.

    ※ ダニ捕りマット and ダニ捕りロボ (NinjaROBO) are only for house dust mites.

    Just after placed
    Mites have been attracted by smell

  • ② DRY AND MUMMIFY mites inside our product

    About 80% of mite’s body is made of water. The hygroscopic ceramics in the attractant draw moisture away from the mite and physically dries it out.

    Dried mites

  • ③ LOCK IN mites have been exterminated

    Dead bodies of mummified mites are locked in a mat. It is only necessary to throw away into a rubbish bin.

    Effective period is three months after opening

Experimental performance evaluation

Mites growth inhibition rate of 100%

Our products received a ‘‘mites growth inhibition rate of 100%’’ evaluation which is accordance with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). It means that multiplication of mites was suppressed and exterminated 100%.

Mites never multiply in ダニ捕りロボ（Ninja ROBO）.

In accordance with the testing method for efficacy against house dust mite of textiles (JIS L 1920), three times repeated tests were proceeded, getting results in a growth inhibition rate of 100%.
