Junior Guinea Pig
So I went outside earlier today thinking about putting my Guineapigs in their outdoor run before I go on holiday on Friday (as they might not get chance during those 2 weeks my parents/brother is looking after them), and as always I check their upstairs area and find, that although it is fresh Sawdust in there, there's mites or some other bugs everywhere, including their eggs. I'm not sure if these are mites or whatever they are. But I don't like the fact that they're infesting the outdoor run, I found them a couple of weeks ago and washed thoroughly with the hose pipe and disinfectant to hope that would work. But with the warmer weather coming, it seems to just come back worse.
Can anyone tell me what these are, what they could do to my piggies, and what treatment to the wood and plastics I could do to prevent them from coming again, and that are harmless to my piggies?
Images Here - Sorry the bottom one is blurry, but they're all eggs and you can see a couple of the bugs. They seem to be around 1cm-1.5cm long with what looks like a stinger or something at the back.
