Anyone tried Kwellada instead of Nix for mites??

[johnnym1972]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone tried Kwellada for snake mites, and if so, what were the results, or complications, if any? I know lots of people use P.A.M., Reptile Relief and Nix, but I'm curious about other "home remedies".
Thanks, Johnny.

Same as Nix and PAM

BUT

500% more active ingredient.
That's touchy.
Be careful.

I'm curious why people want to continually try to improve or find a different method than the best ones.

as Mykee said be very careful mate

there is only 0.50% Permerthrin in provent a mite

you really need to be 100% correct with your dillution

personally i would just buy a can of provent a mite,to give me peace of mind

cheers shaun

I've used Nix before, but never P.A.M. since it's illegal in Canada and therefore difficult too source. Nix & Kwellada both have 1% Permethrin as the active ingredient, and it was recommended by someone with a PhD so I wanted to look into it. Where did you read that it has 500% more active ingredient?
Thanks, Johnny.

I have never heard anything about PAM being illegal in Canada. Where did you hear this?

Not illegal to have but not legal for sale. Kind of a grey area but it doesn't have french lables. I bought mine at a reptile expo and at a store so it is available BUT it's bloody expensive. PAM is the most convenient to use but Nix works just as good and is a fraction of the price. I see your in Ontario. Nix is available at any Shoppers Drugmart. So my advice is go for Nix and don't bother with anything else.

My mistake. I was looking at the P-Lotion, not the cream rinse.

Regardless the op lives in Ontario where Nix is available almost everywhere. Why mess with anything else? IMHO of course ;)
