:One told me to use olive oil

That will suffocate the mites wandering around on your iguana, but won't get the ones in its environment.

:I had also been told that I could use the same spray that we use on our parakeets.

Potentially harmful not only for your iguana, but for you as well. Neither of you should be inhaling this stuff.

Please read my Getting Rid of Reptile Mites article to find out how you can safely treat your iguana and his environment.
