Re:Mites are invading...send help quickly! - 2008/04/27 00:08
what color are the mites??? did you get your supply from beaver bait??? try soaking the top of your bed and getting a mapp gas butane torch and burning the suckers just soak bed first so you dont hurt worms and do this every couple of days until they are gone sounds brutal but it beats washing your worms and changing your bedding I got some from bb bait in indiana and the red mites were in the peat he packaged them in...it takes over 8 hours to wash 50 000 worms and if your water temp is more than 10 degrees different then worm temp you stress worms more than the prozac can help
white and brown mites do no serious harm to worms red mites eat the egg embryo that are laid and there for no reproduction occurs...good luck rough road ahead for you if mites are red ones........
