Nix question

[greenman1867]

Does anyone know how long mite eggs can stay dormant before hatching?

As per my other forum reply LOL I'll say it again, NOPE, but I do know that Nix will not only kill all the mites, but all their eggs as well. Mark
P.S. in reguards to other mites on rats etc. Snake Mites are host specific. That means they only feed on snakes, nothing else. Only a snake can ever get snake mites & they don't come from rats.
P.P.S. Vapona is very toxic & is not recommended for use with or around animals, whereas NIX is a product designed to be used on humans in full concentration. That alone should make it very clear on which is safer to use. Especially when for snakes as it is extremely diluted as per the proper use.

Wiseman, where did you read or whom did you hear from that "Vapona" was safe for animals, rats, people etc.? You seemed pretty adamant....

said it right on the package..

I have used NIX.. and U'r WRONG its not long term.. I used it for a while on my baby boa.. scrubed her tank 2 times a day and they still came back..

AS SOON AS I started on vapora.. I have YET to see a mite.. in over 2- months... there ALL GONE..every last one of them !!lil basterds..I use to pull off 15-20 a day sometimes.. they were in the wood til I submerged in hot water for 2 days..filling up the tank to the rim for a few days..and still comin back...

BUT as soon as I talked to someone about this vapora.. PROBLEM SOLVED !!

But its up to u..I could careless what others think or use ! just a suggestion.
