In Reply to: Re: Vaseline to treat mites?? posted by BabyHerp on February 06, 2001 at 23:36:13:

: : Betaine takes more then one treatment to kill mites . Use Rid head lice shampoo does the job in one treatment .

: : Travis

: RID is a PYRETHRIN product much more toxic than a PERMETHRIN product such as NIX.
: NIX head lice shampoo a PERMETHRIN product (same active ingredient as in Pro Products Provent-a-mite)is safe and effective but MUST BE DILUTED!!
: With proper disinfection, dilution of NIX no more than 1 treatment is necessary.

: 2 oz Nix to 3/4 gallon water....Remove and discard and never replace substrate such as wood chips, accessories like branches, food, water bowls must be disinfected in a bleach water solution, baked at 200 degrees for 3 hrs, or enclosed in a plastic bag tied shut and sit outside in the sun for a week . DO NOT ALLOW ANY INFECTED AREA TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOUR CLOTHING! Liberally spray down enclosure with the diluted NIX in a spray bottle paying particular attention to crevices, corners, and rims, place ig in tub ...liberally spray down, under and all around the ig minus the face (eyes, nares, mouth) Place a small amount of NIX diluted solution in a cup...using Q tips swab around eyes, mouth, nares. DO NOT GET IN EYES!!
: Wait about ten minutes then THOROUGHLY RINSE IG OFF under RUNNING WARM WATER making sure to keep igs head in a downward position so it won't aspirate water.
: Done...Mites no more
