You don't want to put the snake in a confined environment with the fumes, so no. For the snake, I sprayed it on a paper towel and wiped her down well, then rinsed her off and put her in a QT tank on paper towels. For the tank, I sprayed every surface VERY heavily. Make sure to get any cracks, crevices, lips, overhangs, seams, and gaps. I even put plastic wrap over any ventilation openings to completely seal the tank so the little bastards couldn't escape their doom.
As far as water dishes, hides, and furnishings, I had one piece of sandblasted grapevine I wanted to keep, so I doused it with mite off and put it outside in a black trash bag for a few days. Bowls and hides went in the dishwasher on the "blast furnace" setting. All bedding got thrown out.
After sitting for a couple days, the tank got rinsed out really well. 30 days later, I retreated the tank, rinsed, dried, set it back up, and moved Ajja back in.
I might have gone slightly over the top, but I'm REALLY OCD with my animals.
