Get a can of provent-a-mite, treat according to label directions and you won't have mites anymore. That simple.

The problem with other remedies is exactly as you have described....it is hard to get them all. Provent-a-mite is easy to use and works. You will have to order it online or buy it at an expo. Accept no substitutes.

Hi!

I know of one guy in Germany using Hypoaspis miles successfully on his Pantherophis guttatus.
So if you've got a source for the mites, it might be worth trying.
