    Anyone Know A Snake Friendly Pesticide?

    I've recently discovered some uninvited guests hiding out in my racks. I've killed the ones I have found but there may be more I can't see. So I'd like to spray the area around my racks but want to make sure it's not something that will cause harm to the snakes.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
    - Mason

    BINGO!! I spray it around the windows in my snake room to keep spiders out. (the insect not the morph).

    NOT the cooking spray!

    I'm sure YOU know that....but just in case there's new folks reading this thinking that sounds like a bang-up solution because they've got a big can of it right there in the pantry....

    PAM = Provent-a-Mite

    Just making sure that's clear!

    Straight from the label on a can of provent-a-mite:

    "Before spraying, remove amphibians, water and any desirable or food arachnids or insects from within the vicinity. Vapors will kill spiders and insects. Do not use within the vicinity of any arachnids or amphibians. Do not use until these specimens are removed to another location."
