Blattodea313 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 What are some of the best ways to get rid of grain mites? The tank that they are in is a planted vivarium, so I'm not really wanting to tear the whole thing up. Would adding isopods help? I have the dry food for the G. lurida in the tank in a flat food dish. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCrackerpants Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yes, isopods and springtails will eat the food the grain mites are feeding on. This will decrease the grain mites reproduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchellwk Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You lay back and accept the fact that grain mites will forever be a part of your life. But, yeah, isopods and springtails do help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blattodea313 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I put some isopods in the enclosure. I'll have to get some springtails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
