Mites are horrible, but both synthetic and natural pesticides can kill any kind of animal if ingested in large doses, and while we might have to drink the toxin, it takes a lot less to harm an animal so small. IMHO, anyway.
I absolutely agree with Puck. My method is really only for dealing with an infestation not a new animal that got mites. For situations like that just use PAM/RID/Lice Spray or Reptile Spray (didn't this used to be called Reptile Relief?) or whatever over the counter method you prefer. Whoever if you get a Mite infestation outside of the QT Zone then I would recommend my method. The key to any treatment is persistence though. Do a treatment once a week for 2-3 weeks this will insure the highest possibility of success no matter what product/method you use.
