How bad is PAM on damp surfaces

I was wondering how dangerous PAM is to use if your substrate is a little damp. How would it work if you were using something like cypress which holds moisture? And after it dries if it were to get wet would the harmful chemicals reactivate? Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to mess anything up with this stuff.

When you are treating for mites you should be treating a clean enclosure with paper substrate which is paper or paper towels. There's a reason they tell you to let it dry and air out.

I would definitely be using white paper towels while treating so you can see any mites more easily.

I use PAM as a preventative a few times a year in tubs with cypress mulch or newspaper. I have not had any issues with using it on the cypress - I just mist as instructed (outdoors or in the garage), allow to air out for an hour or so (since teh cypress is damp), and add snake and water dish. The Pro-Products website states that it is safe to mist enclosures and substrate treated with PAM.

However, if you are treating an already-existing mite infestation, then you need to put your snake on paper towels to keep track of the little buggers as the previous posts pointed out.
