    Re: The Day After Christmas Bull Crap ):

    The nice thing about mites is that they drown VERY, VERY easily. even in that tiny amount of spray, more mites probably die of drowing than actually die because of the product itself.

    oh, i found this...


    A female mite lays up to 90 eggs in the environment. The eggs hatch in as little as 30 hours, depending on the environmental conditions. A blood meal is required for the mite to gain energy for a molt to each sequential life stage. The larva molts into a protonymph, the protonymph becomes the duetonymph and the duetonymph molts into the adult. Under warm conditions with moderate humidity, the lifecycle can be completed in 13 days. Mites can survive over a month off the host waiting for another blood meal.
