My bp got mites from a dirty feeder rat a few weeks ago. Had her 5 yrs and this was my first mite outbreak. I soaked her in the tub a few times and washed her tank out with hot soapy water and bleach. I then sprayed her tank with some flea/tick spray, let it dry out and rinsed it real good. I also sprayed the flea stuff on the little wooden table the tank sits on as well. Soaked her again in some betadine solution and haven't seen a mite since.
Do you happen to know the name of the spray you used?
