Considering that most bedding is not processed, it doesn't surprise me that there are some small wood mites. I definitely wouldn't fault the supplier unless they advertise bug-free bedding

They don't advertise its bug free but they don't say that it may contain bugs. I understand its a natural product and what should i expect but id expect for the price i pay that there would be something in place from ProRep. My supplier explained that his heard of this case before and the CEO of ProRepannounced something about it, but also told me to contact them direct so i have, just to see what can be done. To be honest i just want the bugs gone, or a way to kill them off due to the sheer amount i have stocked up.

thanks for your advice and its really helping, from looking at other threads and articles about it, it seems like im getting somewhere here, thanks people!

You're welcome!

I would definitely try Prevent-A-Mite and some over the counter Lice spray. Just follow the directions and ONLY spray it on the bedding.

I've run into this issue in years past and always just baked the substrate/decor that was an issue. Just spread the chips out on large baking sheets at 250 for about an hour. Let them cool and put them in the enclosure. It's cheaper and doesn't involve chemicals of any kind. This also works for any driftwood you may find and want to use though make sure that larger pieces cook longer to ensure the interior part of the wood gets nice and hot as well.
