Abstract
ABSTRACT The clinical effects of application of a permethrin acaricidal formulation, Provent-a-mite™, were studied on three species of reptiles by direct application to African spurred tortoises, Geochelone sulcata, and by application to the bedding of rosy boas, Lichanura trivirgata, and green iguanas, Iguana iguana, using on each occasion ten times the recommended dosage every fifth day for a total of six applications. No evidence of toxic reactions related to treatment with the permethrin formulation was found in any of the three species of reptiles treated, suggesting that Provent-a-mite™ is a safe product to use as an acaricide for control of ticks on other species of tortoises, snakes and lizards.
