Instructions provided by Callington Mite Spray:
- Remove food and the water bowl from the enclosure before application
- Leave the snake in the enclosure
- Apply a 4-5 second spray for an enclosure 50 cm x 100 cm. For larger enclosures, spray for longer
- Do not rinse the enclosure or the snake after spray
- Replace the water bowl after 24 hours. This will avoid the snake soaking and reducing the effectiveness of treatment.
- Can be used directly on snake. Spray from a distance of 30 cm avoiding the eyes.
- Repeat treatment every 7 days until mites are eradicated.
Tips to ensure a safe and effective mite treatment:
- After treating the reptile and the enclosure, spray a line around the enclosure to create a barrier
- Frequently (every day or two) spray around the enclosure to keep the barrier working during treatment
- Suggest use paper as bedding during treatment so that changing the bedding is easier
- Do not wait to treat mites as they are the no.1 killers of reptiles
- Spray the enclosure surrounding area as well
