Hi,

The thing is you need to also kill the eggs and immature mites or the problem just keeps coming back... and back..... and back.

they probably are all gone, but the eggs that are gonna hatch in a few days, are still kickin.

the spray that you buy at the stores, only kill sub adults and adults. the babies and eggs

I urge you to order the PAM now and so when they come back you will be prepared. I always have a can in my snake first aid kit
