Go to your nearst hardware store like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, whatever.........and buy the foger spray by "Black Flag" that kills mosquitos/ flies/ gnats.

The main ingredient in Provent-A-Mite that kills mites is Permethrin at .50%

Black Flag mosquito fogger has the same thing. Permethrin (and tetramethrin), both ingredients are at .2% instead of .5% but it still works like a charm. I had a bad break out last year and the Black Flag cleared it up fast. Plus you get a bigger can and it only costs you 4$ instead of $20.

You dont have to move the animals out of the room pursay, but you want to take the snakes and water dish out of the cage youre going to treat. I havent had any problems with it and it kills the mites super fast.

Good luck man.
Brendan
