Then i would take out all objects in the cage such as hides, climbing sticks, etc. And treat them. If the objects are real wood i would bake them in the oven at 450 degrees for one hour, and if it were fake wood i would soak them in a bucket of half bleach and half water for an hour, once done soaking i would take them and rinse them very well. Then i would repeat the process only without the bleach in the bucket.

One done sterilizing everything, i would use paper towels as substrate, and place everything back in the cage.

Provent-A-Mite, or PAM works wonders, i had mites back in october, after one treatment, they were gone. Never had em since, i tried Mite-Off and its way too much hassle, one application of PAM and thats it. You have to purchase it online, but is...AMAZING. Seriously. The Best.:taz:
