So it's been three weeks since you stopped treatment? Or am I reading it right that treatment just ended, it lasted three weeks and she hasn't eaten since before the mites?

Three weeks might (mite) not be enough if there is eggs. The sprays don't kill eggs that have been laid already so keep an eye on that.

How old is that substrate in the tank please?..........?

Chris you understand that this is the active ingredient of Nix head lice remover, correct? That yes it may be a poison but as long as it's diluted and then washed/rinsed off it won't do any harm since it goes onto people's heads on a regular basis.

Yup.

Permethrine is the active ingredient in Nix, P.A.M.,No-Pest-Strips, most flea sprays, etc.

Sure, watered down it's not going to send you to the emergency room or hurt your animal the first exposure or two. However it's still poison that shouldn't be inhaled or sprayed on the skin. Proper preventative precautions should be taken.

(Not applicable in thus case anyway)
