What chemicals are safe for treating mites?

[rich_19]

I'm looking for an insecticide used on animals that is safe for treating cypress mulch that will be used for reptiles. I've read that trichlorfon is safe but can't find it. I have, however, found insecticides that contain permithrine (spelling?). Is this safe for reptiles? Let me know of other chemicals that you are aware of that I can use. Thanks to all who reply.

I use provent a mite. DO NOT SPRAY IT ON THE ANIMAL DIRECTLY! Read the directions about 3 times before you use it.
