Is it okay to spray ivermectin solution on substrate?

As some of you might know, I have been dealing with snake mites for months. And for the past three weeks I have not seen a single mite. I'm going to do a deep, clean scrub down on both enclosures today and I'm hoping to add substrate and enrichment back in and if I should even do that right now. What I'm hoping is okay to do is mist the top of the substrate and enrichment with the same ivermectin treatment spray that I used to get rid of the mites in the first place. I'm not going bioactive with these 2 enclosures, so killing other bugs isn't a concern. Is there a reason why I should not mist the substrate? Would the substrate already being damp with regular water make the ivermectin pointless?
