100% Parasite free?

Is this possible with rats? I would like to try to have a 100% parasite free colony. Here are my thoughts so far, any other suggestions? Or is this even possible?

1) Pre treat any "new additions" for mites prior to mixing with colony.

2) Have regular fecal sample sent to vet for check

3) And of course keep colony as clean as possible

Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
