    Angry Provent-A-Mite

    Just got off the phone with pro-products.com. i called to to check on my order for PAM to see if it shipped yet since we only live and hour or so from them. I was told New York state E.P.A has banned the sale of Provent-A-Mite in NY. so all of us new yorkers are completely out of luck. now what do i use? and dont say Black Night cause thats a no no also!

    Re: Provent-A-Mite

    One thing that has worked for me in an emergency, which I do not recommend unless there is nothing else is Dust off, the lowest number( I think 7 or 5, what ever is lower). IT worked well but if dont incorrectly can cause problems just like any other mite prevention.

    Banning the sale, not the ownership of the product. just like in Canada. ordering it from a place that is allowed to sell it isn't "promoting illegal activities" because they are not breaking any laws unless its illegal to own said product. in which case pre-existing owners and people who still have a shelf full of it at there store are in trouble. The OP wasn't told he couldn't own it. unless he didnt specify. just IMO

    they could even just give him a can as long as they are not selling it.

    i gave the exact same answer others have given in this forum to canadians who have a hard time locating PAM. "buy it from some where that its legal to sell it and have it shipped"

    not trying to cause a problem. just don't think what i said was against any rules.

    Re: Provent-A-Mite

    Ok the sale of it in NY is no good, but what if you had a friend out of state that sends you PAM as a gift? Hypothetically speaking of course. I wonder if its the sale and transport or just the sale...

    Derek- You can remove my post if it is violating TOS but it was not my intention to do so.

    Edit: I was getting at something similar to what you just said Little slow though...

    PAM's not illegal to sell in Canada... I can name several places off the top of my head where I've seen it being sold, including the place I've bought a can from on two occasions.

    every place i go to say they wont carry it because its not legally approved for use on pets in Canada, there fore the cannot sell it. including straight from my herp vets mouth. he tried to sell me reptile relief in place.

    sure they could be carrying it. but it doesn't change the fact that its not an approved pesticide for use in Canada.
