In Reply to: I would recommend against using No-Pest strips.... posted by chrish on November 20, 2002 at 10:36:03:
... though it IS highly overpriced (and the instructions actually call for more than a single application). The way I have used it is to switch to a treated newspaper substrate (spray the paper outdoors to minimize not only your animals' but also your own exposure to the pesticide, then make sure the paper is completely dry before putting it in the cage) until the mite infestation is gone for sure, without bothering to spray the cage itself or the surrounding area (some people really get carried away). I also haven't bothered with bathing/oiling/doing whatever to the affected snake as some people suggest. It's worked great for me.
Of course, No-Pest Strip used to work great for me, too, way back when.
