get in touch with a company called defenders. they are in the UK and supply natural predatory mites. i used these six months ago and sorted it in one go. you need hypoaspis mites. look it up on the internet. it really does work.

Zoomed Mite off can be bought over the counter too, but I think it's only good for small infestations.

When you put torro back in the viv, don't use substrate for at least a month. Use white kitchen roll. This helps you see the mites and also stops them from breeding. They need substrate to lay their eggs in.
