I'm not sure who you're talking to. I just posted, so one would assume me, but the lack of use of the "Quote" function makes it difficult. And since you said he "gave you a method that will work well," but I'm not the one asking for advice, I'm guessing no? Not sure.

I see where *my* mistake and misunderstanding is coming from now. After reading a comment (NOT from Aaron) about killing rats, I misunderstood what "nix" meant. After re-reading (I did read the whole thread before replying the first time), I see where the mistake and misunderstanding happened. I personally am not familiar with the product "Nix", so seeing that after the comments about killing the rats didn't translate well in my head. So for that I apologize for any offense I've caused. Hand shake?

All of that out of the way, if the product "Nix" can be used on rats, then sounds like it will be easier than going through the other process of dosing individual animals, freezing or microwaving bedding, and bathing.

Nix is a product for headlice. Safe for humans, safe for snakes (with dilution) so I would believe it's safe for rats.

Doesn't make my point come across any less.
