'Reptile Relief', though definately effective in slowly eliminating mites, seems to be working too slow for me (too many treatments necessary to get the job done). I think I'm going to try the dilute ivermectin solution because of the residual effect. 'Reptile Relief will kill any mites it comes in contact with, but only for about an hour. From what I hear (on here, mainly), ivermectin will kill any mite it comes in contact with for up to a week.
So I was just wondering, if I make this spray of ivermectin and water, am I supposed to spray the snake down with it too? Or just the enclosure? Also, if I am supposed to spray the snake with it, do I have to be careful not to spray him in the face/on the head? I just want to know any of the up sides/downsides to using this treatment, and any safety concerns.
So any more information would be greatly appreciated!
