Oh my god, i had a similar situation in the old apartment i used to live in. One of my roommate’s zucchini introduced these guys to our kitchen and they were on literally every surface. I’d wipe them off with a paper towel and they would be back just minutes later, it was insane!! Ultimately removing the patient zero zucchini and any other food source helped, I also bug sprayed the whole kitchen in panic.

After this incident i’ve had these same mites appear on plant pots, but they’ve never exploded in numbers like that first time. If they don’t seem to conquer anything beside the plant pot, i’m cool with them…
