Mites eating my mushies!!!
    #20242637 - 07/08/14 03:00 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

Anyone experience having their tubs infiltrated by mites? and then have the fruits of your labor savaged? How can these mites be stopped?
Thank you

I saw a thread a while ago where someone had identified each insect or bug that may inhabit your mushies. I searched for a bit and couldn't find the specific thread.

However, just doing a quick search and read some people say to freeze your mushies or to heat them in the oven. I don't know how effective either of those methods are. I recommend searching for yourself on the search bar or just waiting for someone to post with more experience.

No pest strip will kill them.  But I wouldn't want to eat them after that.

I left one row of holes without polyfill. I felt that if I filled every hole there wouldn't be enough oxygen...
