I have nothing but explatives for wood mites:cens0r:
I know they're harmless to me and my pet, but they're still nasty little bugs that have no business being in my house anywhere.
I thought a complete tank reset with new substrate and washed cage furniture would be enough. But NO!
So today I took everything back out of the tanks (except one - he's in shed and I have only found 1 mite in his enclosure so far) and anything wood got baked in the oven at 300F for 15-25 minutes. Everything else took a bath in bleach water and then was thoroughly rinsed. Even the guy in shed had some cage furniture baked and/or bleached. I'm just not gonna mess with him and stress him out by removing all of his substrate.
I feel like calling in a fogger of agent orange on these :cens0r:
I'm hoping that any eggs that remained are spoiled, any mites that are left will die, and that I never have this issue again.
This has been a bigger pain in the hiney than years back when one of my corns got snake mites!
