[QUOTE="tristan, post: 12469, member: 30"] which ones? while not impossible, its highly unlikely. however its a little slow, hence the 10 weeks treatment time instead of the usual 8 week. that can catch people out with high mite load. but it depends on how it was done. if not done well it may have done nothing. if its done well then there is no way you should be having mite problems unless you have huge mite invasion due to an entire site failing nearby. the other possibility is that the spring strips didn't work, the oxalic and formic didn't do much, which would certainly give you high mite loads. trouble with most organic methods is that they tend to have lower effectiveness and more variability even when done well. then add in that there is many poor methods doing the rounds, you can end up with widely different results. it would pay to post up your methods of oxalic and formic, and make sure its a viable method. i havn't done formic but i know a few here have done it.
