PAM and Nix have the same active ingredient (Permethrin). One isn't stronger than the other unless you're using more of the same active ingredient (Which will likely cause toxicity issues in your animals). There's a reason why nix gets diluted.

Your tanks look fine, your bins underneath look fine and easy to spray. I am at a loss on why you still have mites.

I'd spray my animals with nix, the enclosures including the clean paper towel, everything and leave it. I never wipe anything down or wipe it off. I replace the water dishes 24 hours later (after washing them in the sink/drying. I use stainless steel bowls.)

I then would do it again 7 days later and then again 7 days after that. It should have killed everything at that point.
The towel gets cleaned about every 2 days. 2 of our snakes had some issues with paper towels (they tore the towels to shreds and refused to sit on top of it).

We have NOT been treating the paper towels, though. So we will be doing that moving forward. But everything else; I just don't get it.

And we will only see ONE bug every 2-3 weeks. ONE. Like what the hell Mother Nature? Only 1 in only 1 tank. We check several times daily in ALL tanks and see no mites. And just out of randomness one will drop out of thin air into this one tank. Just when we think we've picked it. It's like they are purposefully messing with us. "Oh, you thought you were done? Hahahaha just kidding!!!"
