I believe I may have bought the last cans a couple years back.
I have been told, that Provent A Mite works just as well.
I did post the active ingredients in Black Knight so it could be compared to Provent A Mite, but nobody ever responded.
Good luck with your search. I have tried repeatedly to find more. I even use it around my house. Works excellent for ant infestations.
I have also been told that Wal Mart carries a spray that is used for lice, that compares favorably to Black Knight.And cost even less. That might be worth researching.
If you do find Black Knight, let us know. I'm not looking to steal your source. Just curious to see if some is still out there.

I have used provent a mite and I like Black night MUCH BETTER. I should have thought to get some before they were forced to stop selling Black Knight. What a shame!!! Thanks for your response. Sara

You are much better off buying Provent-a-Mite. Just go to www.pro-products.com to read up on it. Black Knight is not intended for use in treating any kind of external parasite on any kind of living animal. People who swear to have Black Knight without problems just haven't had their animals die yet. As for other products such as ones to kill lice - well, mites are not lice are they? Provent-a-Mite is currently the only chemical licensed for use in controlling external ticks and mites by the USDA.

What is the active ingredient list in black night? Since it's been banned (as i'm inferring from the prior posts), it's probably got either a dursban, diazanon, or oftenol base to it. Three products, two great ones, which actually worked so they were taken off the market!

I called the company that makes black night and they will not sell the product and they are not allowed to talk about it
