This has worked well for me:
Spray the enclosure with headlice bedding spray ( you can pick this up at Walmart ), this will clean any mites left in the enclosure and prevent them from traveling. I clean the dragons with a little mixture of dawn dish soap and water (in a spray bottle, don't spray their heads, just get some on a q-tip and dab it on the mites, the soap will kill them), then I also get some olive oil and put it on a q-tip and dab every mite I see. This smothers them and they will usually come off at this point. you can usually get them off with the q-tip or tweezers. Repeat the process every couple of days. It's a pain in the butt, but it gets rid of them without using fly strips or harsher chemicals. I use this procedure every time I get in one with them, and it works wonders.
