Hello I just had a case of mites myself. I bought a can of prvent-a-mite and it worked great. I just took the boas, and water out sprayed the cages for a few seconds and let them air out for an hour. Then replaced the snakes and water. I did this a second time 2 weeks later, and no more mites. Just read the directions carefully. Hope this helps, Matt

Call Pro Exotics and get some Black Knight.

not that the others are not any good but the best results in my opinion by far were with Black Knight.
one example.
provent a mite - you have to take out boa and water, spray, dry, then replace all, then re-apply a few weeks or months later.

black knight - i had some feeder crickets on the OTHER side of the house in a COVERED tank. I preventively sprayed a snake going out INSIDE its Pillow case, tiny little spray..
few minutes later ALL the crickets were upside down with their legs twitching, next day crickets are ALL dead, AND any other insect hiding in the house is now out in the center of the floor dead.
I haven't seen ONE MITE since I started using Black Knight years ago..

I havnt had to use this but I have read it works well and can be picked up at you local Vetinary Supply or Feed store. You can find numerous sites on how to use it.
