yes the active ingredient is .50% permethrin and thats the only ingredient that matters it is also in the same amounts. so they are the same product. i have bought PAM for 22 a can and use it but i have also bought household lice spray for 5 a can and used it the same way you use PAM and they work the same. just remember never spray it on your snakes. spray the paper down let it dry then place snake in tub or tank. and repeat if needed.

( .50% permethrin) I used "reptile relief" ON the snake (follow directions to a T) and the drug store brand bedding spray on everything else (EVERYTHING ELSE!) Then, after rinsing everything, I replaced the substrate (eco-earth) with paper towel and left only 2 hides and a water dish, and my trusty accurite thermometer. This way IF there are any mites left I'll see them easier on the white paper towel. I believe there's a sticky about this somewhere here
