Hello, here is another post with some tips. I used the “Dawn” dish soap soak method mentioned in 1 comment and then used the reptile spray below and it cleared them right up.

Natural Chemistry Reptile Mite Spray, 8-Ounce Amazon.com

Good luck!

The other thing I know some people have used besides a total cleanout and mite spray (Handle with extreme care) is Predatory taurus mites to combat the snake mites. They get mentioned in that linked thread up there.
Wishing you the best of luck- mites are everyone’s nightmare.
