Any recommendations? Seam to have a few mites moving into the collection. Gotta kick it in the butt early, and my old can is about out.

Anything new that literally kicks butt, good experiances, etc?

Cheers

I used reptile relief plus on my snakes, It killed all the mites on the snakes and in there cages in a day or so and didnt bother the snakes. I havnt seen a mite in over a year now. I boiled all the cage furniture and sprayed the tanks and the snakes with the reptile relief and it killed every mite, they didnt return either.

Here is a link with two ways to kill mites. The info is near the bottom of the page.

I've used Provent-A-Mite, and like it. I haven't had a problem for years and years, but still use it every once in a while (generally when new animals come in from shows, where who knows what they've been in contact with), I'll use it again. I like this, because I spray the bedding, and then put the bedding in the cage. It works no matter what bedding you're using- just be sure that the bedding is DRY before you put it in the cage. I've also used this stuff for years on my dog's bed, to help with fleas, and it's always seemed to work there, too!
