Get rid of humidity and the old Bugz.  Stay at 50% and get new Bugz.  Move Bugz indoors or get dehumidifier and mount heating boot to front of dehumidifier and run ductwork to your enclosure this should pull humidity from enclosure.

Flies carry mites internally. After you find a way to keep your humidity down try to keep the amount of flies to a minumum. 35 years ago while still in school a science teacher showed us under a magnifying glass mites being squeezed out of a fly.
