I never kept gecko in my life so, I have no clue what mites would do to a gecko. You do have cool idea! Mites do not harm millipedes. I have never worried about mites before. I have hear of people washing millipedes in cool water to get the mites off. By pouring water over the millipedes body. Don't keep the milliped under the water for a long time.
