The eggs can lay dormant for quite some time, until certain temp/humidity requirements are met, which will trigger them to hatch.
I would not spray Provent-A-Mite (PAM) into an enclosure with the snake still in it. The label says to remove the animal and water bowl, then treat everything else.
While Provent-A-Mite does not kill the eggs, it says to re-treat approximately 15 days after the initial treatment to kill any new mites that may hatch. I would wash the furnishings first, and then treat it with PAM before returning it to the enclosure. That way, you don't wash off the treatment...
