buddha....about 2 weeks ago i noticed a couple mites on my BP. i took everything out of the cage and replaced the substrate with a white towel. the white towel makes it easier to see the mites when u inspect the cage. i through out the old substrate. then i took all of my hides, mater bowl, fake plants and soaked them twice for 15 minutes in a 10% bleach solution with hot water. i also washed the cage with the bleach and water. i then decided to take my BP to the vet because i wanted her checked over not only for mites, but she had never been to the vet so it was a good idea. not saying u need to visit the vet. the vet told me she had no signs of mites and gave me a prescription of Ivermectin and that was 2 weeks ago. sense then i still have the white towel for a substate, and the only things i have replaced in the cage are 2 hides and a water bowl. i have yet to find anymore mites but i am waitting at least a month before i replace everything in her cage. i hear great things about that prevent a mite stuff. i would give it a try. good luck.
