I agree with using Provent-a-Mite and Reptile Relief. Here's what I'd suggest:

1) Remove and throw away all substrate from tubs. If you have any wooden or cardboard hide boxes, those should go as well.
2) Spray inside of tubs with Provent-a-Mite in a well ventilated area, away from your snakes. Allow tubs to thoroughly air out and dry before returning animals to them.
3) Place newspaper in bottom of tub.
4) Soak infested snakes in luke warm water for approximately
45-60 minutes so mites currently on snake will drown.
6) Spray Reptile Relief onto a cloth rag and wipe onto snake.
7) Place cleaned waterbowl into tub with fresh water.

Re-apply the Reptile Relief in approximately 2 weeks. Replace newspaper every 2 - 3 days (or sooner if required).

If you have a serious infestation that will not die out using topical treatments, your Vet has a medicine he can inject into the snake that will poison the mites, without harming your snake. Due to expense, try topical, first.
