Mites.

[Lynn]

I do not have them. I just want to know what everyone uses?

[dself]

well I use lots of stuff...lol..But I will list them all I use De Flea for spraying on the snake itself.And use provent a mite or Equate Bedding Spray(Same exact stuff as provent a mite but about 4 bucks a can)(that can be found at Wal Mart)for spraying on the bedding.I also have some black knight which I have never used.But I have it..lol..I had a mite problem a few months back and damn that sucked so I make sure I am ready just in case I see a mite.

[Lynn]

Thanks dself. Better to be safe then sorry

[dself]

Equate Bedding Spray

This sh*t kicks a$$ for the price and results.:)

Thanks Dale..:D

It can be purchased @ any WalMart.

[dself]

Tom,Thats just about all I use anymore for substrate spray.I still have the provent a mite but dont want to use it...lol..Just about everytime I goto wal mart I buy a few cans just to have.I dont think one can never have to much mite spray.But thats just my thoughts

I use proventmite, and if I do ever find a mite I soak all the animals in a warm water/dish soap solution. that usually knocks em out

Black Knight!

[Ian]

I agree with Andy. Black Knight all the way.

Soak them in warm soapy water, spray them with De Flea, and bleach water to clean out the cage.

YES!!! I have never ever had mites. But if I ever do get them this is definately what I would use!!

[KelliH]

Black Knight is awesome.

Black Knight and QUARANTINE. Mites are better to prevent than to "cure."

I keep a can of Black Knight handy. I have to remember about my superworms, mealworms, crickets and super/mealworm bugs. I NEED MORE ROOM [wawa]

Great point. I've heard stories of pet stores wiping out their invertebrates because they used bk on snakes that were in the same room as their invertebrates.
