Just take deep breaths.  Let the Mark II Kizzle Filtration system eliminate all the invading organisms.

Just kidding, that's scary.  Sticky mats or kill it with fire.

I set up some glue boards earlier. They seem to be congregating around a couple of them.

Maybe a light dusting of diatomaceous earth. taking care to not breath any in, of course.

It should dry out their exoskeleton, assuming they have one.

:whathesaid:

I helped my friend and his uncle clean an old nasty ass dope heads apartment once, covered in fleas and mites and all sort of creepy crawlys. He told me to buy some of what Grey said, and me and my buddy laid waste to the apartment with it. The very next day like 95% of them were dead, just piles of bugs everywhere. I felt like Hitler. :cheers:

I haven't seen any live mites today so hopefully that's because they're dead. I think I figured out why they were rampant on top of my SAB and yet none inside it. There's a layer of tape surrounding the entire opening with part of the adhesive still exposed and they apparently can't crawl over the sticky part of it without getting stuck. So I'm going to try setting up a box with tape on the edges like that to keep my petris and jars in.

I had those mites, or ones very similar to them when I first started cultivating...  It took me a while to figure out what the problem was.  Flipping the metal lids so the rubber was up was providing a way in for them.  Rubber down and sfds put a stop to their activities.

Things are starting to looking up. For the first time in over a month I have culture that remained clean long enough for some spores to germinate. I'm not sure if that's because they're gone or because I used flat half-pint jars instead of petris but I've made agar plates so I'll be finding that out soon. I was kind of worried for a bit that they may have gotten into and contaminated all my spore prints.

I bet this is where they came from. Or at least where they were able to first get a big foothold established and then spread from. Bug bomb and bleach bomb the area.

This stuff right here is why I always advocate using the lids correctly with the rubber side down, as intended. And also the use of SFDs over other filters. There are lots of people, even TCs that do use lids the wrong way and recommend it to others. If mites can get in, you have unfiltered GE. :smbfacepalm:

They originated from a tray of his I do believe.

They were probably carried in by gnats. I don't have a gnat problem or anything because I have fly paper up all over the place but they get in pretty easily and occasionally I catch one buzzing around my FC. I'n pretty sure they got to the cultures when I had a tray stored near them. That was around the same time I started to notice the bacteria trails appearing in my cultures. The FC was absolutely swarming with them. The only other place I found any was in some empty jars that had been spawned but not rinsed out afterward.

I use most of my lid right-side up but the sealant from them has been removed and until recently the lids weren't loose, but weren't tightened all the way either. In at least one jar it appeared they weaseled past the imperfections in the tape that was holding a Tyvek filter on but I seems they were mainly getting in under the lids and through some of the lids that used cotton filters. They also got into a bottle of agar, by going under the cap I suppose.

I'm not a mite expert but it appeared there were at least 3 different species.

I managed to get some clean cultures and have done a bunch of transfer with no contamination so I'm thinking the problem is solved. I inoculated some spawn jars for the first time in a couple months and they're cruising along and I haven't seen a live mite for quite a while. I've been taking a lot of precautions so I'm not sure which helped. I changed all the filters to non-organic tape, set up the glue and tape traps, and the temperature has really cooled down so that might have played a role too.
