I used cypress for quite a while before switching to paper and have recently been considering going back for various reasons. After doing a lot of similar research, it seemed like extreme heat, extreme cold or mite treatments are your best bet if you're really worried about mites.
After reading many similar threads about this topic, I decided the threat of mites from the cypress mulch wasn't worth the effort in pre-treating for it. I never noticed a single mite in any of my enclosures while using it and it sounds like many other keepers have had the same experience.
Has anyone actually seen or heard of a case of someone getting mites from cypress mulch?
