The problem is there all in the bed room, were all my animals are, and there in everything, all the plant pots, all the viv, in all amphibians and reptile vivs.

Anyone know how I could get rid of them, in a way that won’t kill my other animals?

I got the regular mealworms, crickets and locusts for food, some Chameleons, Gecko’s Fish, Toads, Frogs and Tarantula’s in the room and there all infested (not heavily) but the mail problem is all the plants where they seem to be more concentrated.

there called fungus Gnats.
 
I had a gnat problem in my cricket container.... I was told to cut down all the moisture and it did work... but u dont really want to stop giving your chameleons water so Im not really sure what u can do there
 
Get a shot glass or small bowl. Fill it to the top with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish washing soap. Put it in the areas that are most populated with the gnats. I put one in the reptile room and one on my kitchen sink. It will evaporate and will need to be changed once a week or so. But man does it work. If you do it right.

You had mites too though - mites all over the place like this would be fatal.
I'm not too sure about the gnats, but from what I've just read on wikipedia I would not be worried and would remove as much detritis as possible to try and starve them out.....try to separate insects from pets for the time being if you have somewhere you can quarantine the worst affected boxes (like a garage or shed).
Also that sounds like a good idea from Texas Ranger..:)
