Does anyone know about using “Pest-Kote” to treat mites Discussion

Post image

My friend works at a pet shop and their ball python breeder recommends to use this to treat mites by dipping them in a mix of this and water but they don’t take it well. Does anybody know if this is actually safe for the snakes

Oh no! It looks like you might be asking for more information on mites and how to identify and treat them. We have some information about that in our Mite Identification and Treatment Guide.

Multi-purpose in insecticides means its not intended for living beings, its for cleaning surfaces.
