So I keep tarantulas and I use b lateralis roaches for feeding. My neighbor recently fumigated their apartment and so I had to have my mom watch the Ts and feeders for about a month until it was safe for them to return. In the meantime, I guess she bought dubia roaches from Petco to add to my blatta bin without my knowledge. They are back today and as I was doing maintenance and trying to separate them I noticed several mites running around. I am doing a thorough cleaning but have no idea how to get the mites and the eggs off them, also no idea if theyve contaminated my blatta roaches.
I don't want to risk it spreading in my room while I try to stave off the mites. I have about 20 or so roaches left (most are dubia, only about 4 or 5 blatta from my original bin) and I was considering euthanizing them and starting over. Is this reasonable or are there things I can do about it?
Also apparently she has not fed the tarantulas since getting the dubias thankfully
