little white bugs

[lindy]

ok I searched the forum and couldnt find info even though I remember a while ago someone asked the same question.
Anyways, I have bugs in my bugs:main_angry:
I just fed them last weekend(ROAHES,cleaned,checked, watched) and didnt see any bugs. Now i open the container and see white spots so then i stare at it for a moment and they are moving:main_lipsrsealed: I cant believe it. So are they grain mites or something. They are really really small and move preety quick for how small they are. Its not so bad that its covering the whole enclosure for the roaches.

So today I started to take all the roaches out(well 99 percent of them) and cleaned the container and put the roaches back in. i cant think of anything else i can do. it took be all morning to do to enclosures. And my mealies have it too. I dont want to throw away the eggs because i finally just got them going. But should I just throw them away and order some more? or put them in a different area from my roaches and wait until the mealies hatch and get big enough to move?

It so frustrating, thanks in advance for answering my question
By the way i have been freezing my grain,chicken feed, just cant freeze it all at the same time as my freezer is very small

They sound like grain mites and seem to come when it's warm and humid. If they get too thick there's no way to salvage the feeders. I had them in my crickets last year and I removed the crickets, changed the grain and then washed out the cage in really hot water. Iwould check the top periodically and washed that daily in hot water for a few days. It worked.
