Hi all, this is a reptile product used for the treatment of snake mites in reptiles, would this be of any use for air sac mites etc?

No idea. Swipe the water based mix that you buy from home based dealers is good, just apply to the feathers to clear any lice and when they preen it helps with airsac mites too. But not enough unless caught early.

Dunno :?: need to compare active ingredients and the strength of each ingredient ....am so against all these chemicals , they are a last resort fix for me.
