Absolute Mite Spray is a ready-to-use mite treatment commonly used for reptiles, birds, and small animals in the UK. It’s designed to kill mites on contact and help prevent re-infestation. Here’s how to use it safely and effectively:
 
 
 
 
✅ 
General Use Instructions:
 
 
Shake well before use.
Spray directly onto the animal from a distance of about 30cm (12 inches), avoiding the eyes, mouth, and sensitive areas.
Also spray the enclosure — especially into cracks, crevices, and around perches or basking areas where mites might hide.
Do not oversaturate — a light misting is sufficient.
Allow the enclosure to dry fully before placing the animal back inside (if removed).
Repeat treatment every 7 days as needed until the infestation is under control.
 
 
 
 
 
⚠️ 
Safety Tips:
 
 
Not suitable for very young, pregnant, or ill animals unless advised by a vet.
Avoid spraying directly into the animal’s face.
Always provide proper ventilation during and after use.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
 
 
 
 
 
🦎 For Reptiles (e.g., geckos, chameleons, snakes):
 
 
Focus on the tail base, armpits, and along the spine—common mite hiding spots.
Do not use on animals about to shed or currently
