You should not feed any of the rats you have treated for at LEAST a month to avoid any side effects. Sometimes you will need to retreat the month after initial treatment to make sure there are no more pests.

Rat mites will not infect or live on your snakes.

I have no clue or proof the effects of frontline spray or ivermectin on the unborn or even the newborn.


You really need to face that you will have a lot of ASF's sitting around being treated for a month or more. I personally have over 140 ASF's hanging out in my home, but the high majority of those are babies and grow ups. I would quickly dispatch of all of them if I had an outbreak that was so severe my animals were dying.

I think I have only 9 breeding adults in my 3 groups. They reproduce quickly, you wont be without for too long.

I would seriously advise you to cull the numbers down to a small workable amount of adults. It was a mistake you made to break QT, but now you know better.

You dont want to chance the mites/lice/fleas to coming back because you missed a few of the animals. Smaller numbers means you have better control on treating and monitoring all of them.
