Jason,

As you are reading this, you are probably thinking a lot of it is propoganda for the provent a mite. Or maybe that the only reason they have it say "safe for reptiles" is because they lobbied the FDA and pissed 'em off so much they just said "fine take it put it on your can." That was actually my initial thought until I did some research with a chemistry professor at my college on this vs that equate spray and an ortho product.



They all 3 have extremly different properties, and he was telling me (as bob just told you) it takes YEARS for cancer to develop and be noticed, even with x-rays. If you just wait to see the effects, it will take years longer. A year and a half is hardly enough time to determine if it's safe.



I'm not out to chastise you publically, nor make an enemy... i'm just briefly stating what my personal findings were vs the provent a mite. $20 a can is expensive, but think about how long that can will (or should) last you.



Oh and Bob... what is the shelf life on a can of this stuff?
