Allpetroaches Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Posted by Jillian on 9/7/2004, 2:41 pm 64.12.116.10 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 Jillian Ever4night@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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