Mite Killers

[jglass38]

Hey,

New BP owner and I just joined this site and was seeing what people had to say about mite products. I don't have mites yet, but I'm setting up my tank and don't want them either. I've been looking stuff up, and I can't find this Black Knight II. I found Black Knight Roach Killer, is that the same stuff?

I see everyone really likes Provent-A-Mite (PAM). How long does it take to get a can? How big of a can is it? I'm not sure I'd trust a Wal-Mart knock-off, so I think I'll just get either PAM or this Black Knight.

Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't touch the roach killer, I suspect it's a completely different product and wholly unsafe for reptiles. Then again, you couldn't get me to use Black Knight despite the fact that some breeders swear by it. PAM shouldn't take you long to get delivered and is the only product approved for use with reptiles. It's a small can but you only need a tiny amount. I've been on the same can for 2 years and it's maybe 1/4 gone. I treat every enclosure when I get a new animal in or when I come back from a show.
