I recommend NIX as well. The reason it has a bit of a bad rap is most people would use it without diluting it properly and if the mix is too strong it can harm reptiles. When mixed right it works awesome because it does kill the snakes. Read up on it to make sure you use it right. If you use NIX proeprly it will get rid of your mite probelm, only reason it wouldnt is if you miss spraying down something you should have hit.
