My baby corn has mites

Hi, I have a baby corn with mites and as luck would have it the only pet store around doesnt have any mite spray. So Im hoping someone has some safe for babys, home remedys for mites they can suggest.

Re: My baby corn has mites

question about the nix they dont have the shampoo they have the 2 ounce head spray version. If this is diluted I assume it will work as well?

Re: My baby corn has mites

either could i .but i heard that its the main ingredient in nix (permethrin) that kills the lice so if u found a lice shampoo that has this to it might work .im just wondering as i might (hopefully not) have to use it in the future

Re: My baby corn has mites

Not sure about any other products besides Nix. I use it, have for years (when any new animal comes into the facility) and love it. You'll need the pink shampoo, not the spray.

Re: My baby corn has mites

Some one on another site is telling me that diluted Rid is good as its basicly the same as prevent a mite. ( I dont know if that is true or not or if long time herpers would recommend it or not)
