First off since you know what they are thats good. Secod of all you need to find a tub big enough to soak him in. Mix betadine in with WARM water until it is a weak tea color. It is better to "poop" him in un medicated water before you start hus treatment. Watch him while he is soaking. soak him until water turns cool then refill. You may want to rub and pet him while he is in the bath. take his cage apart and wash it with a betadine solution. Rinse with hot water. Sun or bake his "toys" and vines and anything that can be detached from the cage like logs and shelves. You will have to repeat this action over several weeks to be sure you got them all. But of course... If you see them then you need to do another treatment.
