thanks. we talked to the vet who told us to treat like lice. So we went out and got furnishing flea powder and tried it on some and it killed them, so spent all night hoovering and powdering, seem to have them pretty confined so for the next month will powder and hoover once a week to make sure we get every last one. They look like spider mite, and found some small cob webs on one of the shoes so pretty much confirmed what mite it is. |
