Do not use Nix it is not the same as Prevent-A-Mite. It can harm the animal. It has not been tested for reptile use and has not been approved for it. Please only use what is correct and healthy for your animal.

Provent-A-Mite or another product manufactured for reptiles are the only appropriate treatments for mites. Nix is made for human use with an entirely different species of pest. The dosages in Nix are much different than in PAM. They are not remotely the same medicine, and while I have heard of it used with some success, those using it were professional-level hobbyists and did the appropriate calculations to bring it to a reptile-safe level. PAM comes with reptile-specific, step by step instructions that, if followed, will wipe out mites with no repercussions on your animal.

Just get the family pack and have some for next time. (Hopefully next time doesn't happen)

NIX works awesome. All these people saying that PAM was made for reptiles needs to realize it wasn't. I don't remember the brand but if Skiploader finds this thread, he can explain much better. Basically PAM is a lice, flea, and mite spray used to kill them in general. Not for reptiles. It was rebranded for reptiles for someone to make a quick buck. NIX uses the same chemical to kill the mites as PAM does but PAM also has all sorts of bad chemicals in it as well. That's why you have to make sure it's dry and you don't smell it. A product with that many warnings doesn't sound safe to my animals IMHO. I have used nix twice and recommended it to people. It works like a charm and I have seen no ill effects with it. Everyone is free to do what they want and probably no one will listen to me (on this site seems nobody ever listens to anything I have to say) but all I can say is NIX works and I would happily recommend it to anyone.

@interloc thanks when u used it did u spray it on the snake directly? And did u spray it on the substrate

What you do is mix the tiny bottle of NIX with one gallon of DISTILLED water. I'm not 100% why distilled but that's what I was told so I do it. You put that mix into the spray bottle.

Take a empty bin and put enough warm water in the bottom to cover the snake. Put a couple drops of dawn dish soap in there. Soak the snake to get the mites off the snake.

While the snake is soaking clean the bin/tank/cage and dry it off. Then spray the nix mixture all over it. Outside, inside, top, bottom. Everywhere. Let the water evaporate off.

Once the tank is dry, put paper towel in the bottom. It's easier to see the mites on it. Don't put the water dish in for a week or so. Mites like damp places and they could come back around the dish if it spills. Put the snake back in.

Wait a few weeks and repeat this process. I usually do it 3 times. So every 2 weeks for 6 weeks. Mites should be gone. This is what I do and it works. Just trying to help out a fellow herper. Hopefully this works for you.
