This bothers me. The vet believes that BP's (like in 'particular') are sensitive to the effects of provent a mite?

Well, this is true when used improperly. (and in high doses) But the directions for provent a mite are to use it on the bedding and enclosure. Not on the BP. It's also one of the most researched and experimented sprays out there. Perhaps she should call the manufacturer to confirm her beliefs. She may learn a thing or two.
