But it is, its the same chemicals down to the T most lice sprays are to. That's like saying Walmart makes and produces there own milk. No they just have the other company slap there label on there milk and its 1.20 cheaper. Of course the maker of PAM would say stuff like that its a marketing game.

A friend of mine had his whole collection of 22 some odd snakes infested with mites and nuked them all with nix. Since the same chemicals are found in each your paying more for some one marketing it to reptiles.
This is only true of the active ingredients. the inert ingredients are not on the label. One of the inert ingredients in PAM make it have a residual affect for up to a month. Another helps the spray penetrate the exoskeleton and eggs. Nix and the other sprays have neither of these. They are gone as soon as they dry and do not kill the eggs, which hatch in 7-10 days. This doesn't mean PAM is any safer or that the other treatments won't work. You just have to be more diligent and you can't use the same directions as with PAM. Also, Pro-Products says that it is the only EPA approved method that kill the eggs. Reptile Spray did not have to go through the EPA because it's not classified as a pesticide. It kills the eggs too.
