Chryss, I was not trying to imply the Merit has any miticidal action. Rather, if one gets into a situation in which you have insects and mites, and happen to think the insects need immediate attention, don't be anxious to use the Merit, or you'll be sorry later.

Ray, I've already learned THAT lesson the hard way !!!

Chryss - You may need to spray 3 times in a row, since you will be missing eggs and fertile females that got away the first 2 times. Five to seven days between applications depending on the temperature. The best miticide I've used is Avid.
