Grainmites. Good luck on getting rid of them.

I had a similar problem. I had my bins covered so I wouldn't get those little moths attracted to bran. One of them developed condensation. I noticed a few days later, a mess of little white spots moving towards the top of the bin. Worrying about what to do, I tossed a whole lot of superworm babies out the door in the trash. To prevent the same problem again, I now leave the tops off. No moisture, no mites. I haven't had any problem with moths either that tend to invade the bran. I have several bins now with baby supers and mealies. Hope that helps.

I put them all outside to try and figure out what to do. I ending getting rid of all the grain and sub. And washing all the bettle and worms under water real quick. I figure if i leave out the grain for a few days maybe they will die off. I just gave the lettuce and grapes most of the supers i tackled up. So i figure atleast some will be saved. And i left the baby containers out side. So i am hoping the cold doesnt kill them but the mites, but i cant afford to trash everythin with out trying to save them first
