I have been seeing tiny black bugs in my baby sulcatas enclosure on his cypress much. Do I need to put pill bugs in there to get rid of them?

This is going to sound crazy but I put it on sheet trays and bale it at 400 for like 20 min but not till it smokes. Then I let it cool off and soak. Can also try freezing but depends on the bug/larvae.

Personally, I've had spider beetles, caterpillars, spiders, centipedes, and even flies. What makes me nervous is flies but none 9f the above seem to bother him. If they do there will be signs: Not going in to hide, always in shell, or always face towards corner. These are just some observations I made and immediately treated substrate. Each time I observed this behavior there was usually an issue.
