What do most use, or do to get rid of these little white bugs. I see them on new bags of all bark like substrate, even at the pet stores.

Thanks
I had them in repti bark also, i just washed the bark with water and drained it and couldnt see any... you could also bake/boil the substrate..

Washing also is great to get rid of all the dust that reptibark has... I cant imagine repti bark holding humidity well enough for a BRB unless you plan on spraying every day... (or close to it)
