Anyone ever had a problem with grain mites before? They are tiny little dots that like to live in humid places and I just spotted a few in my enclosure!
Apart from getting rid of the humidity I'm not sure how to get rid of them?

THey are probably phorid flies, or substrate flies. They are harmless detrivores. I don't even worry about them. They are present in the environment. Even if you go to great lengths to get rid of them, they will always come back.
