I have gone out and purchased the prevent-a-mite or p.a.m. for short not to be confused with the cooking stuff. It to me is by far worth the money. I had a horrible infestation of mites on my male normal. I mean it seemed like one night he had no mites and the next night he was crawling with them. Prevent-a-mite is a god send literally poof they were gone, you spray the entire area they live in after removing their water and the reptile and put them back in when dry, then retreat 2 weeks later. When they have mites, they are miserable, they rub themselves all over their enclosure non-stop, in and out of the water, or constantly soaking. Yes you will find them in the water, and no it doesn't drown the mites. And not always will you hear a popping sound when you smash them, unless its a really engourged mite. Eeeew!!!! BTW it was my stupidity my snake got the mites, I brought an outside tank in and set his tub on top of it and literally overnight he was crawling with mites.
