Reptile relief only works on what it comes in cotanct with when wet. Once it touches the mite it will start to eat away at it's exoskeleton and the mite dies - takes a minute or two. If the mite does not come in contact with the RR - it will not be killed. Once the RR is dried or rinsed off it is no longer working - that is why you need the PAM so that you have something that keeps on working after the initial treatment. Also I don't think the RR kills eggs. In other words RR works great for immediate relief to yur snakes but for a long term solution it should be followed up with PAM.
