Mites...Mites.... EVERYWHERE!!

Snake mites are not the same as Lice and their eggs/larva. Nothing kills mite eggs.

Its not a argument over if it does or doesnt due to someone saying it did for them. It just doesnt happen at all.

Could anyone tell me is there a expiration date on the container of "Provent A Mite" or what is the shelf life of the product? I'd like to buy some just in-case I run into this problem, I'll have some available. :)

Wanted to add, theres a reason why you have to keep doing treatments every 2-3 weeks as the EGGS will hatch again and you will have more mites.

Re-treating later on will help kill the newly hatched mites before being allowed to mature and lay more EGGS

Well how do you know this? I read on site to do with the active ingredient in the nix product that it does, this is what it says,
How long does this medicine take to work?
• Permethrin cream will kill the mites and their eggs within 8-14 hours.
• Permethrin cream rinse and lotion will kill lice and their eggs within 10 minutes
So there ya go!

Forgot its on the internet so it must be true, My bad :rolleye2:

Well I guess we won't know then unless we do an experiment. I don't currently have any eggs to test out the theory, I think because they are all Dead! LOL!
Do you own a store or something? You seem pretty worked up that some people use Nix instead of reptile products!

No i dont own a store. Just i dont like when something that has not been tested/known to be safe for reptiles to be given out as a remedy to fix a serious problem.

I use what works, when the problem arises. Treat once, then retreat in 3-4 weeks to get the remainder. Done..

Just some food for thought.

I wasn't gonna go there, buuuut since you did. Here's my two cents worth. You hit the nail on the head. A lil communication goes a loooong way. If it's not an animal what's it gonna be later on? Communication is the key and respect for each other. Good luck in the future :)

Probably wasn't my place, but sometimes people need to reflect on a relationship in order for it to be successful. I have never been a person to beat around the bush when I see a strong underlying problem. If I can help, ill do my best whether well accepted or not :). I always try to remain respectful though:)
