I agree that you can use reptile relief spray as a temporary fix, and it can be sprayed on a paper towel or washcloth to wipe the snake down to kill the mites, but it doesn't kill the eggs. I stand by Provent-a-Mite. That stuff is THE product to use to get rid of mites. I had a bad infestation at one point and one application is all it took to get rid of them.
