These strips have been "recommended" for years. There are no accepted safe guidelines for using them around reptiles - as a matter of fact, there are more horror stories about their effects on young snakes and specific species than you will find with PAM, Black Knight, RID, Ivermectin, etc. combined.

I personally used these strips several times before PAM and other permethrin based alternatives were on the market and had numerous issues. Exposures that had no effect on some species resulted in neurological symptoms in others. Small exposure levels almost ALWAYS resulted in noticeable agigtation in my neonates. The manufacturer of these strips even recommends that they not be used in even well-ventilated rooms occupied by human beings for more than 4 hours a day.

Since PAM has been on the market, I have used it repeatedly- I have used it around small snakes, I have used it around many, many different species. It has ALWAYS been effective and it has NEVER caused any issues with my animals.

ok so the residue left in substrate on snake whatever is kosher when they drink it etc if youd read to proper use yo been using them for years properly never had issues with any species of snake or lizard and theyre not exposed to it consistently I've used proventamite.....guess what omg still mites I gave it a try it didnt work for me and well to each his own STOP ATTACKING ME YOU FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THERE WERE TWO OTHER WAYS I LISTED AS WELL BUT NNNNNOOOOOOOO its crap like this the nonsense attacking me no matter where i post heck even a pic that makes me not even want to deal with anyone hear geez
