Mites in tortoise enclosure

[ZEROPILOT]

Here in our dry climate, I pour the Amdro granules right into/onto their entrance hole and in clearing their entrance they carry it all down into their colony. Is that how you do it, or do you follow the label and scatter it?

Thanks for sharing this info. I'm always looking to improve on methods.

I scatter it.
I made the mistake of crawling in the grass where I'd placed it and it chemically burned my knees.

That's an interesting way to apply it. We just sprinkle it on the bird and rub it in to the feathers to get the product to the body with rubber gloved hands.


What chemical do you treat with?

The bird flaps his wing in the bag and the powder is distributed into all the nooks and crannies. I vaguely remember it clearing out the crop, nares, etc.
