Mites - Origin & Reproduction?

[Chuckels]

Not sure how good they are at moving through a rack... across aluminum, over tubs and through PVC...

I'm working nights right now so I'm not going to be able to get out and get PAM until the weekend, so in the interim I am going to do the best I can with keeping her and her enclosure clean.

They will BLAZE through a rack system. I got a new addition from someone a couple of months ago, and pre-treated as usual. The next week during cleaning I found a slew of dead mites in her cage.

If you cannot get to some PAM quick enough, while you're working tonight, order some from Rich over at Reptile Basic, his shipping seems to show up ALOT faster than usual. I have ordered stuff from him, picked 2-3 day shipping, and got it the next day. It'd be worth the extra few dollars to get it quicker in my opinion, than you having a bigger mess by the weekend.

Make sure when you do treat, you remove the water bowl though. I'm pretty sure you knew that already, just figured I'd throw that in there anyways. You can soak her everyday until you get some, that should help slow them down a little.

Drown the suckers.

EDIT: Did not notice until now you're located in Canada, not sure how fast he ships internationally, or if he does. Ask a friend to go pick some up, it's pretty easy to identify a can of PAM.
