Re: the mites don't care...
Are you spraying enough of it on the aspen? I was just battling mites a a couple of weeks ago. It took me two PAM treatments and a miniral bath for one of my BPs to wipe them out.
Poor guy's scales really suffered because of the mineral bath but it worked. It killed off all the mites on the snake and PAM took care if the mites in the substrate.
Re: the mites don't care...
I use reptile spray for the reptile and provent-a-mite for the cages. Even though the treatment says you can leave the substrate in, I remove and discard. This is a lot better system than using seven dust in the old days before there was any specialized reptile product.
