Re: Anyone tried Kwellada instead of Nix for mites??

Same as Nix and PAM

BUT

500% more active ingredient.
That's touchy.
Be careful.

I've used Nix before, but never P.A.M. since it's illegal in Canada and therefore difficult too source. Nix & Kwellada both have 1% Permethrin as the active ingredient, and it was recommended by someone with a PhD so I wanted to look into it. Where did you read that it has 500% more active ingredient?
Thanks, Johnny.

I have never heard anything about PAM being illegal in Canada. Where did you hear this?
