I have had a couple of people call me over the last few years with dead snakes due to Nix. But they may well have overdosed with it - I don't know exactly what they did. They were new hobbyists and were just going by what they heard. But I have had no personal experience with Nix.

But I have DEFINITELY killed corns (mainly babies) with small pieces of No-Pest Strips and I would not use that again.

And I DEFINITELY have never had a problem with Sevin dust (except trying to avoid breathing it myself). And so far I never had anyone call me with direct experience of losing an animal due to it. But I have never left an animal in with the powder for more than a few minutes, due to the dustiness of the product. But I did generally re-treat once or twice after a week or so, just in case any were missed. And it is great stuff to make a "moat" around an infested cage to stop mites from migrating.
