It is quite gross when you get loads. When I had to disinfect my cage after I found it was crawling with moths (under the substrate) I phoned the vet and they said use beaphar for small animals as that’s what they use when they do a deep clean.

I took the cage base up to the bathroom and put it in the bath and squirted it all over with beaphar left it on for a few minutes and wiped it in all over. Then showered it off in the bath - that should rinse off any stragglers if they haven’t been killed or drowned.

Then left the base outside to air then did the same bath/shower treatment with the bars.
She has a big glass tank (i attached an image) , so i can't really carry it to the bath, its super heavy and i think too big for the bath haha. I do have a special disinfector for small animal cages that i got at the pet store, i plan on washing it with soapy water ,whiping in down, then spraying it all with the disinfector, hopefully that helps
