DONE!!!
trouble for me was that the above didn't work. I had to do basically the same thing as the OP to get mine under control.
Something I have not seen asked is if anyone has any reports of the "Nix" treatment being harmful? I haven't seen any, which means very little, but I have seen a lot of people give the " I don't want to chance it" response.
My experience was not having PAM readily available and finding mites after improper qt, I needed something fast so they didn't get out of control, so I tried the nix. It worked great, just had to retreat a few times. then due to my own foolishness, I ended up having them show up again. So I decided I would pick up a can of PAM at the next show and be done with the problem, as so many had said it was basically foolproof. To make this a bit shorter, PAM by itself didn't do the job. Had to go back to using the nix to treat the snakes and kept treating the racks and such with PAM. Seems to be under control now, but between my being a noob andeverything I needed the extra boost.
And I have not tried the reptile spray so I have no clue if thats better or not.
