reptiel relife works well for the animal i used it myself,its meant to be sprayed right on the snake.....its not a pesticide so dont worry...just be careful not to get it in his eyes or mouth it all..... dont bother spraying it on the enclosure tho, i scrubbed the inside of my enclosure with vingegar and then rinse and dry for a few hours while everything wood was baking in the oven I havent had them since
