Granted Permethrin is Permethrin but the inert ingredients is where the concern should be.
Attention to Disclaimer Warnings such as HAZARDOUS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS are not found on many/most Farm and Ranch products.
These Warnings are Not found on,
NIX
RID
Equate Brand Lice bedding spray
Why ?
Because attention to "INERT INGREDIENTS"(and the composition of) prevent residual contamination to the consuming public when used as directed.(Not the case with Farm and Ranch products)
If your planning to sell Boa's, do advise your customers of your past chemical abuse and the potential of neurological issues in the animals your selling them.

>>Provent a mite is Permethrin. I believe it is about 0.25% strength( don't have any to look at). This ingrediant is in every thing from lawn chemicals to horse and cattle fly spray. Check local farm supply stores and plant nurseries for different products. Some even come in easier to spray bottles than Provent a mite and are much cheaper. Just don't use too strong a mix and follows directions on package. Spray bedding and around cages to prevent movement of mites and wash the snake. Give it a place to soak. MITES CAN'T SWIM! Water is deadly to mites and snakes know this, thats why they get in their water bowl when infested. And one more thing, bedding spray at walmart has Permethrin and the equate brand is cheap.
>>Good Luck
