I have been searching for a carbaryl based mite/flea powder to put in the rat cages, and there appears to be nothing of the sort. Would anyone here happen to know of a safe to use version of a powder?
The vet recommended we use it, as one of the rats has eggs on his hair. We've had one rat die from mites, because he got really sick while we were gone on vacation and it was just too late .(Though we did take him to try and start ivermectin). The other two have been on the shots(one just started today), and the vet mentioned the carbaryl powder. Exotic Tropicals and PetCo do not seem to carry it.
So, long story short, any suggestions? It would be awesome!
