I have a problem. My tiger hisser and my vhorns have mites. They have little white mites on them. The mites leave white powdery mite poop on the roaches. It turns out I am alergic to mite poop. How do I get rid of the mites? I cleaned out their cages but I cant get the mites off of the hissers. I tried to brush the mites off of my adult hissers but they didnt like that much and my nymphs are too small to brush off. I have the roaches on paper towels right now.

Thanks

We just keep some rolly pollies in our roach colonies to stave off the mites.

Seems to work pretty good as we have not had any mites.

Hope this helps.

They are Isopods and commonly referred to as Pillbugs and Sowbugs.

Here is a link for further information on them.

Hope this helps.
