    PAM Alternative.

    Alright well I've had a mite problem for about a week now. I ordered PAM about 5 days ago. I was going threw my email just now and saw I had an email from Pro-Poducts saying how they cant deliver to NY anymore.

    So question is.. Is there anyway to get it?

    If not then what is the best alternative for PAM. =[

    Try ordering from LLLReptile, I can't say for sure but they might do it.

    PAM is the only stuff that really works well. There are others but I have no experience with them.

    I would look into this if you cannot get PAM

    I believe PAM is illegal in NY for some reason now. Not completely sure why... >_>

    I may get flak for suggesting this, but RID Lice bedding spray has the same active ingredient. It's not exactly the same thing as PAM but it might work if PAM is in fact illegal in NY.

    The same thing happened in Florida, since PAM is a poison it required a license in each state to be shipped into or sold in that state. Pro Products decided that it was costing them too much for all of these licenses so they didn't renew their licenses in the states that ordered the least.

    it sucks... I have 2 options now, drive to Georgia where I can pick some up (a 8 hour round trip) or get someone I know who lives in another state to order some, then somehow get it to me.

    Go to reptile basics and get reptile spray. That stuff is pretty much all i use for mites if i ever get em on incoming animals. The stuff works awesome and is safe to spray on the snakes cause it doesnt contain toxic poisons like pam

    Yea i have reptile spray i got form petco. I just treated my snake and tank with it. Second day so far and no mites but i would still love to have PAM incase the mites come back since reptile spray dosen't kill eggs.
