I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to my collection. I know those were not reptile mites that I saw, but I don't like uninvited guests.
Since I was worried about cool spots in the microwave, I instead submerged all the mulch in a bowl of water. I then nuked that for 6 minutes. The water became hot enough to kill anything that was inside. One bowl had dipped in handles and a little tip ended with me severely scalding my hand, so I think it was hot enough to kill bugs.
I simply drained the water through a collander to catch any big stuff. The little stuff got eaten by the garbage disposal. It looks pretty good in the tank.
