    Reptile relief thats the name I was thinking of lol. Well anyway heres the link from LLL
    http://lllreptile.com/info/library/c...h-snake-mites/

    Ive used it a couple times without any flaws.
    Basically let the snake sit in a tub sprayed down with reptile reliefe. While hes in there take out everything from the cage clean it off bleach disinfect it, then bomb the cage with provent a mite. I close the doors and let it sit in there until it disperses. After its dry to the touch in the cage I get some type of disinfectant and wipe down the inside of the cage because the PAM doesnt kill the eggs. Also after 15 minutes of the snake in the reptile reliefe I take him/her out and clean the snake off from the relief then let it soak in water for another 15 minutes. This will take off all the dead mites that were killed from the reptile relief. It will also rehydrate your snake because the reptile relief pretty much suffocates the mites to death and often your snake will be thirsty afterwards. Just make sure you wash the spray off of it.
    Its also a good idea to spray down your substrate (I recommend using newspaper or paper towels until there gone) with the pam and let it dry before putting the snake in there, Because the mites like to hide underneath the substrate.
    But anywho these directions will tell you that also this is just how I do it with a few modifications. Good luck!

    EDIT: you might have to do it once more in a couple weeks if they were not all killed.
