There are a zillion commercial herp mite sprays available but I've never had any luck with any of them. Best thing to do is empty the tank or cage and bleach it...let it dry good and sprinkle 5% seven dust in the bottom and line it with newspaper and rub some all over the snakes body avoiding his head. Put him in the tank for a couple of hours then rinse him off. leave the sevens dust under the paper for a week then bleach it out again. Repeat dusting the snake and rinsing him every 2-3 days for the remainder of the week. Throw away any unused substrate you may have because this is likely where they came from....Find a local vet that handles herps and take him in for a checkup to make sure there are no endoparasites too. He/she will advise you on bringing back a stool sample at a later time. DO NOT SKIP TAKING HIM TO A VET.
