Yes, Probably not-but maybe, Maybe, Maybe.Questions - Are the mites in the feed, with the weather "hatching"? Or is it the storage at the feed store? Would changing to a grain feed have less chance for mites? Should I start buying 10# bags?
Grain mites burst forth in much greater numbers during hot humid conditions.
I freaked the first time I saw grain mites.....but have learned they are not that big of a deal-unless they get into your kitchen/pantry/mealworm bins. DE will kill them easily, I basically repackaged the infested feed into different bags and added/stirred in DE as I transferred it.
Here's my story with them.
