I've never seen anything written about woodlice eradicating mites. Woodlice are primarily scavengers, and I doubt they would hunt down predatory mites to eat.

There is some kind of mites that eats those bad mites.. I can't come up what is that name.. Woodlice are only cleaners (?) so they might just eat snail poop and old food bits.
