[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 343766, member: 10818"] [USER=763]@hibiscusmile[/USER] I used the old "Crisco barrier" trick to keep any more from escaping and cleaned the exterior very well. It will buy me some time. 😀 [USER=11628]@MrGhostMantis[/USER] I'm going to attempt to dry out the substrate in the enclosure and bring down their numbers... hopefully I'll be able to break their reproductive cycle. There are far too many to inspect each isopod as their are hundreds of dairy cows already. I'll follow your advice for my zebras and oranges though since they are fewer in numbers.

I learned way too much about predatory mites while researching. 😨 I'll be setting up some herp enclosures soon so I definitely hope I'll never have that problem. Thanks for all the advice folks! 😊 [/QUOTE]
