DO NOT use anything other than the real thing! PAM Provent-A-Mite, the stuff with similar active ingredients will just end up slowly poisoning your snake. And when you get the PAM, you need to follow the directions exactly, if you do this you will eliminate your mites 100%, and they will not come back.

It is a terrible idea to gamble with pesticides when treating your snake, that stuff is poison literally, the PAM has been specifically designed for use with reptiles and you can even call the inventor of the product and he can explain exactly why it is safer than the copycat products. Please do not mess around with the other junk! I say this to protect your pet, and for no other reason.
