I have had mites in the past, and hell don't want them again. Once a month when we clean the whole rack tub,I spray this stuff called equate bedding srapy lice treatment. I spray the bedding while its in the tub, let it dry (5-15mins),then snake back in. It hasnt had any bad affect,and Sean from EbN uses it too. Just dont spray on or near the snake and make sure its dry.

You can find it at wal mart.
