You have to let it get really, really dry to the point you might dehydrate the pede and make sure there is good airflow in the enclosure. A KK with a fan nearby is a good way to do this. Give the centipede water just often enough to keep it alive- barely. When the mites go then moisten the pedes substrate correctly.
I have had a similar problem in the past and tried all sorts of ways to get rid of the mites. Nothing worked for me but drying them out, and there is a small chance you loose the animal, but the mites can eventually kill it anyway. My problem went away when I made sure there was proper airflow in all my containers (I put 2 occillating fans in the room which helped ALOT ).
