    Provent a mite

    Hello,
    So I have been treating my ball with provent a mite and reptile spray to get rid of mites. So far, one treatment of provent a mite and few reptile spray have done a job. Don’t see any mites. I am planning on changing the substrate pretty soon to reptile prime again. I wanted to just treat one more when switching back to reptile prime bedding, but is it safe to spray reptile prime coco fiber bedding with provent a mite?

    You certainly can treat natural substrates with PAM but you'll need a lot of it to ensure you treat every nook and cranny of the substrate.

    I would just keep the snake on treated paper for two months after you stop seeing mites to ensure you didn't miss a lone pregnant female, or you'll end up with a re-infestation in 6-8 weeks.

    You can treat the substrate with PAM but make sure you air it out for at least an hour if not two.
