I found some wood mites today under a water bowl. I'm 99% sure they're wood mites. Small, tan or white, crawling around near water. I use Reptibark fir chips too, so it stands to reason there might be some wood mites in there. But, not a single mite on any of my snakes. I only found at most 5 and of course they got washed down the drain.

Would a good thorough cleaning and change of the substrate be enough or should I find a good anti-mite chemical like PAM, or maybe even something less powerful? I feel like I should use a weapon commensurate with the prey. No need in using a machete when a pocket knife will work.
