    Re: Mites take over

    Hi,

    Mite off is junk.

    Buy Provent-a-mite and follow the instructions exactly.

    You probably haven't used Provent-A-Mite, also referred to as PAM.
    It will get rid of your mite problem 100%.
    Just don't spray it on your snake, or in their water bowl. It explains everything on the label, so you must follows those directions.

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    PAM, is only mail order here in San Antonio

    I use Natural Chemistry Reptile Spray, it works great for me. One of my rescues was infested and after about a week I never found a mite.

    I had a mite problem a few years ago. I used Reptile Relief and haven't seen a mite any where since.
