> First treatment cost me $4000. Do I have to spend $12000 or more to gain control? 

With those numbers, I'd first do some random uncapping and calculate the efficacy based on dead mites in cells.  If it turns out that, after treatment,  you're actually dealing with a phoretic load, I'd switch to OVA for an inexpensive cleanup.
