Shanley, I'm just curious, what kind of substrate do you use? Couldn't you put the babies in another container for a little while and just boil or cook the substrate in the oven, and clean out the tank, furnishings, etc? Of course, your mom may not be crazy about bugs in the oven, but that's what I would do if I couldn't throw it away and start over. Even the microwave may do the trick? I treated Sly for mites for what seemed like forever when we first got him and the sight of any creepy crawlies in the tank would drive me crazy!
