They feed directly on the host's blood, stripping vital nutrients and leaving animals anaemic, stressed, and significantly more vulnerable to secondary illness. The parasites also introduce pathogens into the bloodstream during feeding, which can prove fatal in heavy or prolonged infestations. Conventional chemical treatments — including neonicotinoids and pyrethroids — carry their own risks to reptiles and are increasingly subject to parasite resistance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Biological Control Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaurrus consists of living predatory mites that actively hunt and consume reptile parasites, including \u003cem\u003eO. natricis\u003c\/em\u003e and other acari species.
