hi I seem to have mite problem in my nests that I use heat matts,I use boiled water on dead flys insects before I feed them to my colonys,but after a few days there are white small mites over the dead flys? do theses mite attack the ants? how can I get rid of them they still appear even after I use boiled water on the dead flys? I have to clean the nests out every time

I have heard lemon juice works, or vinegar; but this will smell worse. I had white mites infesting a nest, but they seem to die off if you don't use excess warmth and keep the nest dry for a time.
