mites

I've try permectrin II, petco stuff, and rubbing alcohol. After cleaning there back after a week or less. I try even spraying the floor with cheap petco stuff.

Use Provent-a-Mite(PAM) or Nix lice spray.
I had a mite outbreak once in the past, and I never saw a mite ever again after a PAM treatment.

Empty your enclosures. Clean the enclosures and accessories with boiling water and bleach. Use paper towel substrate in the meantime during treatments until all the mites are gone.
Keep your set up very simple. Just a hide and water dish.

And you can bathe your snake once a day in warm water with a drop or two of dish soap.

Your missing something when you clean then. I used Reptile Spray from Petco and after one treatment never saw a mite again. I sprayed, scrubbed, vacuumed, and cleaned everything that was even close to the snakes.

Same here.
Rack or tanks?
what are you using for substrate?

racks and paper towels

The key to getting rid of mites, weather nix with water or PAM IS to make sure to do it every week for a couple weeks even if you don't see any, sometimes they lay eggs out of the enclosure and find there way to the snkes eventually, and they will keep.comming back if you only treat once.

good point. I've been treating for about month straight now

Once worked just fine for me, but Reptile Spray does say to repeat. I didn't and they were gone with only one treatment.

OP, Do you know the source? Maybe your collection keeps getting exposed. Any other snake owners come to visit or have you visited others with snakes?

You said "Petco stuff." Is that Reptile Spray or Mite Off?

nobody comes around my snakes but now thinking about it I went to a friends house that was having a mite problems. If I remember ever since them it started. about month ago
