Re: Mite Killers
i have been lucky.....never had a single mite.

Re: Mite Killers
PAM all the way... I used reptile relief (with NO success) while I was waiting for the PAM to arrive... I would never spend another cent on any of that crap. If my reptiles get Mites - I get PAM. Period. End of story ;)

Re: Mite Killers
PAM is the best. I have also used Frontline spray with no ill effects. Mites and ticks are both arachnids.
I have hot seen a mite in over two years.

Re: Mite Killers
We bug bombed the room (obviously we took all the snakes out first, duh, but people have asked!) and bleached (soaked) all the tanks, then washed and rinsed the tanks, and treated the snakes with the Zoo Med product.

Re: Mite Killers
Equate bedding spray. Same thing as Provent A mite, Ive used it with 100% success, never saw another mite, and never had a snake die from it. Basically inert ingredients and the Permethrin content in it and Provent A Mite are identical. Some people are gunna argue this fact....but I pay 4$ for Equate, and can run to walmart to get it. Provent A Mite is 18$ and I have to order it....There are numerous Die Hard Provent A Mite fans here that will bash me for saying this. I know because ive watched the EXACT same people on other forums come in and defend it against other people with similar claims to mine.
Anyways.....Equate bedding Spray and Provent A Mite are the same thing. I dont buy the manufacturers claims, especially when I saw the ingredients to be Identical on a Government website. EITHER way....I can attest i saw a huge Mite outbreak, be completely demolished from 1 treatment from equate, and no snakes Harmed.:gj:

Re: Mite Killers
Lol use Pam, I would say more but the wife and Robin have already posted so I will just say that we have never had mite's but if we do get some we would use pam.

Re: Mite Killers
Which section of Walmart is Equate Bedding Spray found? I don't have a mite problem in my setup but good to know if I do in the future.

Re: Mite Killers
Most breeders in the Industry, Ralphie, BHB, etc use PAM. Its Permethrin Based product wich is all I use after failed attempts with other products. And is by far the best option listed in this Poll. It works because it kills The EGGS that mites lay as well as the mites themselves. Ive literally seen mites dissapear for a month, and just explode in population again in a friends collection. With no new snakes added. Why? He killed all the mites, but the eggs were all over in his tubs, Permethrin (Provent A Mite) eliminates this problem.

Re: Mite Killers
Man i really wanna buy equate because my snake is suffering and i can get that withen 20 minutes, but then again he's only a baby so ill probably go with pam. If i use pam does that mean i can keep all of the tank furniture if i use pam?

Re: Mite Killers
wityh pam you keep EVERYTHING except the waterbowl in there. spray it down. wait for 1-1.5 hours then put the water bowl and snake back in there. the pam will kill any live mites on the substrate or furnature. and when they eggs hatch the residual pam will kill them too in 30 days.
