Mites!!!

My carpet pythons both had a very bad mite infestation, so I ordered provent a mite and reptile relief having heard good things about both. By the time the sprays came, my carpets were very dehydrated and inactive. I removed my snakes and sprayed them with reptile relief, let them sit a while, then soaked them in water briefly. At the same time, I fogged everything in my cages with provent a mite, with the exception of the water dishes. In about an hour I placed my snakes back into their cages, and replaced their water. They both drank a lot, and I didn't see any mites. That was yesterday. Today, I see mites everywhere again, especially on the snakes and on their climbing branches. According to the provent a mite can, it should keep killing them for 30 days. Most mites I see are smaller than the ones I saw before. Does provent a mite take a while to kill mites that the spray didn't directly contact? I used a lot of spray and coated all the sides and the substrate (wooden cages with soil substrate). What am I doing wrong??
