    Reptile spray by natural chemistry kills mites on reptiles?
    Has anyone used this stuff or heard anything about this stuff? If so how well does it work? compare to something like provent-a-mite

    Less potent than PAM... can be used directly on reptile...
    Great stuff to wipe new acquired animal from Show as prevention... Effective in fast catch beginning of infestation...worked for me in that case.

    Edit :In average...bad... and really bad cases of Infestation PAM is way to go...

    If You stump upon mites in Your collection reptile Spray Is a first line of attack if you dont keep PAM on hand and help You a bit...till ordered can of PAM will arrive :gj:
    Especially that you can buy that stuff in almost every pet store

    I've never used it, but I do keep a can of Provent-A-Mite on hand and I have never needed to try anything else...

    We tried it, if we had kept up with it better it probably would have worked, but it was taking weeks. We had a REALLY bad infestation though. I like that it's more natural, I would feel safer about it around younger snakes

    I've never used it, but I have used the Natural Chemistry cleaner and I love it.

    For mites, the one outbreak I had I ended up using the Nix solution, and it worked like a charm.

    I have used it, one rescue was in bad shape. Took about 3 or 4 days and didnt find anymore live mites. Went 12 days after just to be sure. Havent seen a mite since.

    Lol... title was abbreviated as "reptile sprayby natural chemistry kills" and I was about to say, "BS! I've used it on over 400 snakes as a preventative with no ill or dead animals!"...but I'm glad that's not what this post is lol. As others have stated, PAM is definitely a trusted and effective choice. That being said, I believe PAM works longer (as far as in the habitat goes), but natural chem spray is excellent for putting directly onto the animal, and from personal experience, absoluetly recommend it.

    can you use both together? spray the PAM in a quarintine tub, and then use the reptile spray on the aninal, and then put the snake in the tub?
