Red mites

15 years ago

OK, I've done some reading and googled everything possible but I am still confused. I have a Worm Factory and I have the first bin in use, almost 3 weeks now. Suddenly, I have little fast moving red mites all over the dry paper on top of the inside of my bin (I let it dry out to try to get rid of the mites), and they are now crawling out of the bon and onto the lid. I also saw 1 or 2 goping up my drawer fronts. How can i get rid of them? Is there any easy way? Am I overfeeding? I started to see rich black compost in the first corner I put food in, and I added another container full of kitchen scraps. Is food in all 4 corners too much at once? I have 1000 red wigglers.

I know, way too many rapid fire questions, but I need somebody to convince me and the wife that having this bin in the house was not a mistake, LOL

Thanks in advance.
