    In short:
    Mites exposed to sweet basil oil shrank, distorted, and deformed after a few minutes of death, while those exposed to ivermectin became smaller and translucent two hours later.

    Two mites covered with follicular keratin stopped moving and died within 2 min after exposure to lemongrass oil. The mites shrank, distorted, and became transparent within 30 min after death.

    Conclusion
    This study demonstrated that Thai herbal essential oils and tea tree oil had a superior in vitro killing effect than ivermectin 1%, while ivermectin 1% was better than metronidazole 0.75%. Thai herbal essential oils are potentially an adjuvant or alternative therapy against Demodex mites. Further in vivo studies are necessary to determine the treatment efficacy and side effects.
