Can you please help me identify this mite? We found them in furniture that we know have wood beetles. They have been attacking us for 2 months now and finally found them. I took the attached picture of one under a microscope.
Sure looks like a STRAW ITCH MITE. I suggest you treat the furniture and surrounding area with PERMETHRIN 10 or ESSENTRIA. I also suggest you keep a can of MICROCARE on hand to spot treat as needed. Expect to treat once a week for 1-2 months to insure they’re gone. And if you think they came in from outside, get some of the granules and spray for the yard too.
