Fig. 1 Interaction of eucalyptus oil concentration and time on the percentage of mites killed at water temperatures of 30° C (± 95% confidence interval).

Fig. 2 Effect on mite survival of warm machine washing (30° C) of blankets in a 0.2% eucalyptus oil solution (± 95% confidence interval). Percentage killed is based on comparison of numbers of live mites recovered from four sites before washing and then 24 hours after washing from four adjacent sites on each blanket.
