Need Help with mites

I haven't handled my Columbian boa in awhile because she was digesting then went into shed so I left her alone. Well today I took her out to feed her and I noticed her ventral scales were raised and bumpy when I looked closer she was covered in mites. After cleaning her bin and moving her into another room I checked the other boas and there are no visible ones on them but am going to treat them anyway. I have no clue where these mites came from she must have came with them when I bought her but they just showed up and I have had her since Febuary.

Anyhow what is the best mite treatment to use and where can I get it. I need it as soon as possible because my boa does not look good.
 
We got a new snake a year ago that had mites. We treated it (and all the freakin' subsequent flare ups all over the place) with these instructions from LLL Reptile.

They are kind of like the fleas of the reptile world... sooner or later they happen to everyone.

One caution- if you have tarantulas or other arachnids that you care about at home, do not spray the Provent-A-Mite near them, or even in the same room as them. We took our T's upstairs while we treated. It is lethal to them.
