I think that flies stop breeding after it gets past 85 degrees.

I've never used it, but there is anti-mite shelf paper. One on the businesses I get flies from here in CA sells it. This person also sells really good, clean flies and cultures.

Hello Happ Frog !
Sorry, I don't know ( or remember) your name.

Yes ....this does work quite well.
However...I think I will stick to my double-sided tape idea.
I worry about the insecticide
I'm suspicious they were in my culture media- anyway ( it was old )

Yes- agreed- It is best to dump all of them and start over.

You can put them aside and wait-out the life span of the mites.
You still don't want to use them to make new cultures though.
This works ---they will start to reproduce again.
But the frogs have to wait as well !

The Repashy works like a charm ! FAST - too !
