have to use a product with pyrethrins in it, like "Clean Air Purge III". Also get a dispenser that will auto spray your room.

If it's mites...

it works for thrips too.

i just use bedding spray. it's for lice. the active ingredient is permethrin. it got recommended to me when my snake got spider mites. works like a charm and dissipates quickly. just don't breathe the fumes.

Shake,
What's the name of the bedding spray and does it work for gnats too? Also, what kind of snake?

Had a simialr problem near the tops of my plants. The new leaves had a black substance on them as they were "coming out". I was told that it was a parasite or something and should use seven dust on them. Problem went away in a few days.
