Well the problem is if you dont do that and you somehow kill all the mites that are on the ants. There could still be mites in the soil so they will just multiply again.

Well then they could be mites that are parasites that live on ants or mites that eat old food that the ants have left... Where did you get the soil from? As they could of been intoduced from that.

How can I get them into a testtube setup if there living underground It will probably be vary difficult; you'd need to dig them up.

I have seen wood lice in a Lasius Niger colonie before, they are about the same size as they workers, and white. I am no good at identifying ants, or insects but I hope it all works out
