is spraying everything down with a dilute solution of ivermectin. You can buy ivermectin paste for about 7 dollars for enough to last you your entire life at any decent feed supply store (usually in the livestock treatment area). Dilute 1 cc into about a quart of water and spray down everything. Ivermectin will continue to kill mites, ticks, and pretty much any insect or external parasite it comes into contact with for about a week. Therefore, if you spray down two times in a week, your problem is solved and doesn't come back. This is also the method you would see recommended in the ball python manual, etc...

good luck
