Very simple:



Go to the pet store and buy mite off made by zoo med. Its carried almost everywhere at the pet stores. Take everything out of their enclosures. Soak everything such as logs and any furniture etc in a water/bleach solution for about 1-2 hours. Then thoroughly rinse and let fully dry. Bleach vapors are harmful so be careful. You should use like a 10% beach solution.





Or you could wrap everything in tinfoil and bake it.





Wipe the enclosure out with the 10% bleach water solution also. Make sure its fully dry and use just water afterwords to rinse it and wipe out.





Then you visually inspect your animals. Spray the mites with the miteoff. It kills them almost instantly. Remove any mites off their bodies and flush them... dispose of them etc.



Spray/treat their bodies (it has sodium laurel sulfate) 1% relatively harmless to reptiles. Rub it into their scales and treat their bodies. Dont dry them too much. Also spray and treat their furniture before putting it back into their enclosure for mites with the mite spray too.





I guarantee this will decimate the mites.







Started using this with snakes...



Keeping snakes for years. I have also found wild caught snakes that I have relocated to new areas, this one dusky pygmy rattler was covered in mites. I treated & rid it of mites and then relocated it.





Found one on my property about 5 years ago. I got it really fattened up and healthy then relocated near a lake deep in the Withalacoochee national forest. They have the most amazing eyes.

Native to Florida and other parts of the south.
