This isn't directly related to hoggies, but I keep many different animals, and my Fire Bellied Toads tank has acquired an infestation of mites. I have used ARDAP before for my royal pythons, but none of their enclosures have live plants in. My FBT's tank is covered in plants and soil though!
Has anyone used either ARDAP or Provent-a-mite in a tank with live plants? I don't see why a pesticide should affect a plant, but better safe then sorry!
The toads themselves have no mites, just the tank needs treating!
Cheers,
Josh

I think I've replied to this post before? Must have been on another forum... but I wouldn't use any chemicals with amphibians.

Only thing you can do is keep rinsing the mites off and bathing your toads. It'll take time, but if you are patient and persist it will work.
