I've tried cleaning my crabs' cage several times but everytime, after about a day, the bugs come back again. l think it might be that I am misting their cage too much but I am afraid that if l stop, my crabs might dehydrate! Is there anything l can do?

I have 3 hermet crabs. They all seem to be healthy, but they might have a mite problem. How can i help them?

Have u thrown out any wood & other things u can not clean, baked, ur substrate(or in the case of eco earth replace it), boil everything that can take it, given ur crabs a full strength salt water bath, & clean the tank itself real good with vinegar(do not forget to water down the vinegar until the smell is gone). If u do this everyday until the bugs r gone, it will get rid of the bugs. You can set up an isolation tank for ur crabs if you're r worried about them(again, do a full strength salt water bath before u add them back to the main tank).
