It's great stuff - as long as you don't mind mites. : )

It's actually close to useless as a mite killer, but since it is essentially soapy water, it's ok to clean with. Just bear in mind that it doesn't dissinfect.

It's OK if you only have one or two cages. But bear in mind you have to thoroughly clean everything every three days with it, and use it on your snakes every three days too. It drys out the snakes skin and can cause bad sheds. Compared to provent-a-mite, it's a whole lot of work you don't have to do. It's probably less toxic, but if you use provent-a-mite correctly it's harmless too. The good part is that p-a-m is also a preventitive. With reptile relief you wait until the poor snake has mites to use it possibly exposing them to bloodborn diseases.

Regular use of No Pest Strips Keeps all the critters at bay.
Used conservitivly of coarse.There is a right way and a wrong way to use this product,ask around if your unsure.
