Stop trying to use internet remedies on snakes. Use what is recommended, follow the instructions and so long as you don't have resistant mites then you are good. Mites do not survive water baths so you can soak your snakes to get adults and nymphs off and provent-a-mite and natural chemistry to treat the enclosure and the snake itself.
Don't use olive oil or crisco or topical flea treatment for dogs or RID. You wouldn't put frontline on yourself to prevent fleas so don't use it on your snake for mites.
Realize no one here is a qualified herpetologist or exotic vet so when in doubt, ignore the internet and refer to people who's job it is to treat your animals.
