Only saw a few the first time, so might have been lucky, but treated aggressively nonetheless. Haven't seen another since.

You get two 2oz bottles for around $15.00 at WalMart. Each bottle is mixed with one gallon of distilled water. After all of the above treatment sessions I still have almost 3/4's of the first gallon remaining so it will last quite a while. Be sure to clearly and properly label the containers before placing them in storage!

Do not let the snake soak in the NIX mixture as some report. Just spray thoroughly, let it dry, and then put the snake it lukewarm water for a rinse. Have not had any problems nor seen any adverse reaction from the snake.

Good luck!


yikes! i never rinsed them, is that bad? i was following this PDF instruction i found on when i typed in "nix for snake mites"
