I also tried the Reptile Refief, and other off the shelf products with no luck. I did not spend the money for Provent-A-Mite, but have heard that it works really well.

The olive oil treatment worked almost too good. I had most of them off in about an hour with a small cotton pad. Just don't deep fry the Chuck under a heat lamp!! Couldn't resist that one... The next morning not a single mite was walking around. I repeated the treatment a few times to be sure.

I have not had any mite problems since I used the olive oil and cleaned the cages down. Not a single one !
