Mite Cures

[Matt_K]

The problem with Provent-A-Mite is that if you don't follow the directions perfectly, you can seriously injur, if not kill your snake.. THAT is why people take the 'less expensive' route..

nix

NIX is very safe as its a soap. Do a search for it, and you'll find its very safe. But I agree chaotic, because in 10 years we'll be going, "man, that NIX was such a bad product, I'm glad we have ______ now". Evolution is good for the hobby though. Keeps progression going.

Exactly Jeff. I want to hear about that new cure that only one person in the world may be using. Not trying to tell anyone that they're wrong. Just want to hear some new ideas. Tired of the same stuff over and over again.

I was speaking to someone who told me to use Nix and that whole treatment, but why not use a product like Provent-o-mite that has been designed to destory snake mites. A product that is specialized created and designed to do the job. So because it is more expensive people want to use their Nix, which cant compare in effectiveness? I personally dont get it...

Well first reason was already mentioned above by Matt. Nix is safer to use. It is very easy to use.

How can you say provent a mite is more effective? Have you tried both? I have used Nix and I really can't see any other product being more effective than eleminating the mites after one treatment, unless it can cook me breakfest.

You are also seem to think that we all use nix cause we are to "cheap" to pay for provent a mite.... I can't speak for any of the others here that use Nix but I can guarantee it isn't cause they don't want to pay extra for better treatment. LOL, I don't know how to be more clear with you. If provent a mite worked better and safer than nix, alot more people would be recommending provent a mite.

I just don't get it

my vet told me that frontline can cause breathing problems in snakes and can lead to the snake dying, so instead use a herbal flea/mite/tick shampoo. we use Ultrum pet shampoo its made from natural ingredients.
