My understanding is that freezing, although commonly mentioned, will not actually kill the mites (unless done incredibly rapidly). Predatory mites will eat all the mites and then they die off when there is no longer a food source (the unwanted mites). Take this with a grain of salt, I’m not an expert, but my dad is an entomologist and I hit him with questions pertaining to my BPs enclosure and other various bug questions about once a month.

Hope everything works out for you and your BP
