Hello! I was wondering if anyone had experimented with killing a mite infestation by freezing the enclosure?
What I mean by that is that my emperor scorpion's cage currently has a mite infestation. I would take out the scorpion and his isopod buddies and put them in a quarantine enclosure to kill off the mites they have on them. Then I would leave the enclosure outside, as we're averaging -15 C to -20 C recently (5 F to -4 F) here. Would that kill the mites, or simply render them dormant?
My scorpion Soup is already in quarantine, trying to kill the mites that decided to crawl on his body is proving to be a tad difficult and a long process. >_<
Thank you for your time!
