Hypoaspis mite purchase details please

Recently discovered mites had hitched a ride back to my place on my new juvi diamond ,which I stupidly put in the same room as the rest of my collection because it was from a respectable breeder ,though I should have been smart enough to piece the cost of $250 and the weird upturned scales on the neck (which I thought may have been a bite from live prey) as being a sign of trouble to come.
Well anyways, currently cleaning entire room with T.O.D. tonight, but would like to know of a place I could order Hypoaspis mites from to Newcastle and how much would they cost. Hopefully the T.O.D. will work, but would like to fully eradicate the illegitamite children ASAP.
Any info would be great.

Jay

ps. By using T.O.D. how long before lizards could be fed, since I dont want to poison them but I have 6 juvi bluetongues and 2 juvi EWDs.

pps. Please no 'Your an idiot' replys, as I am already fully aware of how many primary herping rules I have skipped and am fully regretting it

Jay,

Don't forget to remove the water bowls. Sray for a few seconds in each cage till you get a fog effect, then quickly shut the cage doors. Spray all around the cages and in your room. Shut the room door. Repeat weekly for 2 more treatments and that should eliminate you problem.

As for feeding, you can do so as soon as the fog dissappears. Hopes this helps

Fuscus : LOL! Sorta defeats the purpose, eh? :-) This must be the single case where two rights DO make a wrong! :-)
