I do not know the specific mites that are infesting however most mites seen tend to be grain mites, they will out compete springtails for food . It is thought they may eat eggs although I have not been able to observe this. Not every mite will do this, some mites will co-exist with springtails I however do not take chances since I offer springtails to the public. I have several varieties of isopods that I have observed eating mites "Greys and Striped" if I recall. I do not have the knowledge if they would continue to clean an infected culture however or if these were exceptions So one may experiment by dumping springtail culture into isopods bin and observing.

The springtails that seem to be most prone to mite infections have been ones that are fed grains or bakers yeast and of course foods that harbor mites at a high rate like dog food, fish food or mushrooms.. So avoid grains if you have this problem.

Springtails can be flooded to cause the springtails to float to the surface for easier removal and restarting an culture from one that was infected.
