You don't need to do it, its already treated, but, its an extra option, I would imagine that a couple of minutes would do it.

Mites don't live, or come from aspen, they are not even native to the country, and, they don't live that long, so, its more likely the mites came from the shop, in which case I would buy from there again.

Mites can only survive on snakes, they need fairly regular meals to live any length of time.

Weavels are a different story, anything found in stuff like that is because its been stored badly, not for any other reason.
What I wrote is correct, mites do not come from aspen, full stop.
If you don't believe me, do some research, vpi have a very good page on mites, I suggest you read it.
Your new owner has good advice, don't trust what you don't know.
