Oddly enough, you're the first person I've ever seen mention spraying the carpet and vacuuming up the little corpses. That's actually a great idea.
I've never used PAM or Reptile Spray, but I have used Mite Off and Frontline Spray. Frontline worked REALLY well, and can be used on the animal and the tank. Mite Off works great for killing ants.
