Cure
Cures are largely extensions of the methods mentioned above for prevention. Users have documented
applying vinegar, lemon juice, ethanol, Milton’s sterilising fluid and baby powder directly to mantids to
kill the mites, however, whether these methods are safe for the mantis is dubious. Many users have
documented physically removing mites with toothpicks, cotton buds or similar items, or a combination
of physical removal and application of one of the aforementioned fluids. Again, these procedures are
stressful at best.

I know if kept a little cool and in a clean home a few times a week while sitting the container on mite paper they will eventually go away as no where to go and no grain to live on, also they can get mites just from them floating on air.
