Directions for Provent-A-Mite???

texasboa71 Nov 18, 2003 01:03 PM

The directions to me weren't very clear. Maybe I missed it but I didn't see any directions for spraying the actual reptile. How do you go about spraying the reptile? TIA

it is not neccisary to mist the animal itself so long as the cage and substrate have been treated properly... personally i saok them in water with a couple drops of mild dish soap while i treat the cage and disinfect the waterbowls and hideboxes..

go here for more info, its for BK, but the application is the same. (BK and PAM are essentially the same product)

recycle your pets

the directions for using Black Knight ARE NOT the same as proventy mite. we use the BK in close quarters with the actual animal, and that is NOT recommended with the other product. please DO NOT use our BK instructions for anything other than BK : )

Remove snake and water bowl from enclosure, in a well ventilated area..not in your snake room...completely fog the entire enclosure/substrate/cage furniture, allow about 15 mins. to dry completely. After dryness is achieved replace animal and water bowl...I would suggest treating anything else in your room, this product is a great preventative treatment for mites...I always treat any new animals with it as part of their quarentine.

Good luck,
