Have a read of this, including the links, as tiny insects in the viv are not necessarily mites. If you're using orchid bark, that usually comes with a few little passengers such as compost gnats and the like; all are harmless.

If you do have mites, then everyone swears by this stuff:-

But do hope it's NOT mites - all the best.
