Otherwise this thread has a lot of useful info about eradicating mites:

I belive I did get it from a big chain store I just can’t remember which, I should have known bettter but I was in a rush for materials that go around so that was my fault entirely if the bag is infested. Is it possible that even though the first half of the bag had no problems the second half could??

also thank you! That link is much appreciated. Do they look like mites for sure to you?
