Black Knight Roach Killer isn't all that new. In fact, it's quite old. As far as use for reptile mites it's been used by Dave and Tracy Barker for many years [i don't know how many]. There was a lapse in it's production [ i know because i was looking for it at one point, before i found out it was an aerosol product] and i suppose enough people began looking for it that it became more widely available.
I believe, although i could be mistaken, that BKRK was initially used for preventative feral arthropod control on newly arriving tourists/immigrants arriving from other continents to australia. In particular they used it on luggage, but i have heard that they were using it on people as they walked through customs into the country.
I could be wrong, but i also believe there was a great outcry by the public over this, for obvious reasons.
Anyhow, this is how it became widely used for reptile mites. The logic being that if something is safe enough to use on human children, than it must be safe on reptiles. I've used this same logic when i use permerthrin products (human lice treatments).
