Re: Prevent-a-mite, Sawyers, Nix

I use REPEL most of the time. It seems to work well for me. Keeps out the mites and I have never had any ill effects to boids, colubrids, elapids, or pit vipers. And pit vipers are actually pretty fragile. At $3 a can for my REPEL, I think I will stick to it.

Re: Prevent-a-mite, Sawyers, Nix

Don't worry about it, I just wanted your opinion on the stuff. I was hoping that if I could get that one, It would make things easier. I was just waiting to hear your opinion, and if you said that it was not the same and would not work, I'd order it on-line from the website. If you really want to send me one, I'll give my address to you. But I can order it on-line.

EPA reg #'s are NOT the same for those products at all from what you posted here.

PAM : EPA Reg. No. : 50404-7-73617
SAWYERS : EPA Reg No. : 50404-6-58188


See how the beginning is the same ? That's where it all falls under hehe.

Re: Prevent-a-mite, Sawyers, Nix

Does anybody have any information on whether Repel Permanone would be a good substitute for PAM or SAWYERS based on the information that I put in the last post? Or do you suggest that I not use it. From what I've read thus far, it seems the same. But I don't want to make any ***-umtions!!! And make the same mistake I made last time.
