> What were the other assumptions?

steady state universe, so no other variables considered.

So started with 300, treated, and you had ten doublings of mite
population every year and each treatment achieved 98% or 99% mite
kill.

This was just a quick and dirty math problem that gave the results of
6 years vrs 10 years for the number of resistant mites to be equal.

In any case, it seems to track just what happened with Apistan.
