Mites! Help!

[Charlieamanda]

Several months ago I got a bunch of dermasids with my cricket order. There was a dermasids population explosion and many of the containers were infested with mites I've gotten rid of most of the dermasids but the room I keep the crickets, my gray tree frogs & toads and my friends red eyes & clowns have mites crawling around and they're in all the tanks.
I read that these type of mites are primarily interested in bugs, however since I've noticed the mites I've had inexplicable rashes on both my arms, I've attributed to them, and several of my frogs and toads seem listless and have a decreased appetite.
My question is....can these mites harm the frogs and toads?
I have been cleaning everything out continuously but the mites keep returning....I'm becoming increasingly frustrated and really need a plan how to combat these pests!!!
I'd be happy to hear any suggestions on how I can get rid of these mites!
Theyre small and white and have round/oval bodies, they're definitely not Springfield ive got those too but they don't bother my frogs or toads.
Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated

Hm.... I have seen mites only in insect colonies and reptiles....

Can you pls take picture for ID?

I'm allergic to bed bugs; so imagine you can be allergic to those bugs. whatever they are. A final answer will need proper ID and maybe you know someone that has an Iphone with macro lens adapter or low power binocular microscope to take a pic of them?

If frog's enclosure parameters are correct and only new thing there is the bugs, they could well be the cause of frogs ailment. Probably won't like this; but it might come to tearing down enclosures, set them up as quarantine tank, sterilize or throw out whatever can't be, giving all frogs daily baths (to drown the bugs) and replacing unprinted paper towel substrate/cleaning cages once a day.

You can search internet for more tips; but basically since they are in room, clean floor/vacuum daily for a few weeks, do upholstery and anything with fabric too. Hard surfaces can be wiped with alcohol. change AC filters, and get yourself mite anti bed bug mattress and pillow covers. Yep, lot's of work ahead if infestation is out of control .

here's a pic of the mites...I found some in the cricket food bowl so I dumped the contents into a ziploc and that's where they are in this pic

Well, I'm no bug expert; but those do look like some kind of mite . Let's see what Lija and others say .

They do indeed look like a mite. Doubt they are harmful to any living tissue though.

I've seen these bugs on injured frogs eating the dead tissue or dead bugs.

I read these type of mites are usually associated with bug colonies, but as soon as I began to find them I developed rashes on both my forearms up th my elbows...incidentally I wear gloves when handing my frogs crickets etc, I have lupus and take strong meds so there to protect the critters, and the rash stops where the gloves do!
Maybe its a coincidence but its one that should send me to the store to play the lottery!
So does anyone think my frogs/toads are in any risk?
Ive been cleaning like a maniac so th he populations are very very low.
thank you for all the comments and advice.
