    Provent-A-Mite Question

    Hey Guys,

    For those of you who use this product. I was wondering how long you all let that stuff dry for. I basically, sprayed the tub I wanted to treat and let it dry for about an hour. I had no bedding in this tub when treated...just the tub by itself. I don't have a tone of ventilation in these tubs because I like to keep the humidity up. Do you think it is safe to put the animal in? Will the lack of ventilation cause issues? It is a Pastel het Clown boy that will be proving 4 monstrous girls out for me this year and don't want to take any chaces at losing him. BTW, I have never used this stuff and the animal doesn't have any mites that I have noticed but came from somebody that has had mite problems with customers before. Had I know this before I bought him I might have considered twice. Too late now just have to take precaution I guess.

    Thanks for the thoughts,
    Mike ****inson

    An hour of dry time is fine. Just make sure there were no water bowls in the tub when you sprayed it.

    Assuming your using some type of substrate, you want to treat the substrate not the actual tub. i use newspaper and usually let it dry for about an hour. i would say an hour is fine for letting it air out. if ur really worried you can run a fan over to make sure its completely aired out

    Ive waited 2-3 mins as thats all it takes to dry since its not needed to be sprayed heavy.

    As long as its dry, dont matter how long you wait.
