I totally agree, I have been in pest control for 9 years and have talked to numerous entomologists on pesticide uses for reptiles. Most of the time if a product hurts an animal it is used on, it's because it was used improperly. Most people just don't take time to read labeling. Fipronil, the active in Frontline also works great on mites. Just be careful with water bowls when applying any of this stuff. Old school Listerine also works well with mites, but since Provent-a-mite came out it's all you really need.
