this was a few days old but Im bored lol Ive used pam I hated it. not only is it expensive at 18 a bottle but its a pain in the arse to use and I used pam only for several months fighting off the mites I had on a boa I got back from a breeding loan. They just kept returning. So to me pam doesn't kill all life stages. I tried the nix treatment did it once never saw a bug again!! and that was almost a yr ago! good luck, mites happen to everybody at some point don't sweat it!
