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
