I use the reptile spray made by natural chemistry and the provent-a-mite both together in the event of actually getting a visual infestation ... But I also use the provent-a-mite once a month as a preventative ... With the provent-a-mite the fumes from it, is what actually kills the mites (works exactly as a flea bomb would) ... In my personal opinion the provent-a-mite is some really handy stuff to keep around, just be sure to read the directions thoroughly as the fumes can also be harmful to your snake if you do not allow time for the provent-a-mite to dry and the fumes to dissipate before reintroducing your snake back into it's enclosure. You are NOT supposed to use provent-a-mite on the water dish or hides (says so right on the can) ... If you are using a natural hide such as bark or anything that has pores or deep crevices you need to throw it away and get a smooth plastic style hide. Hope ya get rid of them lil boogers![]()
