If I bake the substrate will they return? I mean if they are some type of wood bearing bug will they return if the humidity or something spikes?

I noticed ZooMed Repti-Bark is the ONLY bark that IS NOT heat treated before its sold. I was wondering what that mean't the other day at the Local Pet Store. Obviously it said heat treated substrate won't house mites.
Baking it will kill off all the nasties. Seems like a lot to go through each time you change the substrate, no? Best of luck with it!
