Equate* Lice Treatment Bedding Spray

Cheaper then Nix,easier no mix aerosol application
Fast knock down (kill) residual effectiveness against eggs and larvae
Used correctly(sparingly),total eradication success is achieved in less then 21 days.
Its actually pretty well done within 15-16 days.

Initial treatment,second treatment at 7-8 days allows for effectiveness of
the residual kill reinforcement and the fresh application over laps the gestation cycle of 11 days for new potential hatching arrivals.
A third application to surrounding area(cage,carpet,wall board)
pretty well runs cleanup for solid peace of mind.

One can will easily do 20/4' cages when used sparingly and allowed to dry
before introducing reptile.
Never leave water bowls in a treated enclosure,never mist an animal
in a chemically treated enclosure.Ingestion is to be avoided
Soaking reptiles during treatment process(while you clean the cage)
will allow for hydration,due to their dermis being far more permeable
then that of a mammal.
(from start to finish and still have half a can left)

HotShot*Pest Strips are extremely aggressive and outdated,
highly suspected to have caused long term neurological issues
and death in several reptile species.

I detest PAM* and their known political history as well as track record for
the effectiveness and less then timely eradication of the target parasite.
