I found the attached in a study about the survival rates of Demodex Folliculorum, and 100% TTO killed them in 3.7 minutes; 100% alcohol in 3.9 minutes; 100% caraway oil (CWO) in 4.4.
I use the alcohol on my makeup brushes, and used to spray my powders but stopped when I learned they die quickly because it dries them out.
My face and neck are quite dry now, and I'm not sure how to handle it since the new moisturizers I bought don't have oil in them and aren't as effective as my old ones with oil. I'm using serums (CeraVe Vitamin C with hyaluronic acid; and Filorga Hydra-Hyaal Intensive Hydrating and Plumping Face Serum (pricey) (all Amazon). One thing that really, really dried my face out was the Ovante demodex mask. I used it once last week and my neck hasn't recovered yet. I'm 74 and would only use it again if I were years younger or if nothing I'm doing now won't control the DX
