Does Vetark Ark Klens kill coccidia?

[Spikey07]

After treating my beardies for coccidia and pinworms I am about to blitz their vivariums...

Does Vetark Ark Klens kill coccidia? If not what is the best thing to use, I am from the UK?

From what I remember, no, it doesn't.
Best thing for getting rid of coccidia is steam. If you have a hand steamer, use that.

 

[Spikey07]

No I don't, is there anything else I can use?

 

[MissT]

If it's a wooden viv, you could use boiling water.
I would say, if you can invest in a hand steamer- do you have a 'B&M' nearby? I got my hand steamer in there for £14- great investment as there is no need to spend money on expensive 'reptile' cleaners.

Its made of Melamine so I'm not sure if it will warp if I use boiling water.

I do have a B&M so will try there, thanks.

Will a steam cleaner be effective on stone tiles? I am presuming I will have to replace the wood hides and decor??

 

[MissT]

It will work on the tiles and all the other furniture. With wooden branches, I would steam and then bake them. Any other furniture, submerge it in boiling water and then steam.

 

[Spikey07]

ok, thanks.

How long do I bake it for? An on what temp? ... I dont want to end up with it burnt!!!

 

[MissT]

Bake for 30 minutes at 350F- I can't remember what that is in Celsius- not on computer right now so can't convert it :?

ok, thank you so much for your help.
