Not just dip, but closely inspect under magnification.
The concern would be “red bugs” which is resistant to all dips except Bayer.
Typical Acro pest.
Agree, but as common if not more, and harder to eradicate are acro eating flat worms. Dipping and inspecting + rinse and repeat again (with the pesticide dip IMO) is crucial. Jewelers loupe helps a lot with the inspecting. No dip kills eggs. That's what you are inspecting for.
