Nice graphs Allen!  Would have been really nice if there had been a couple
of controls, so that we could quantify the overall benefit of oxalic vapor
treatment!  As they are, we have nothing to compare what the natural
mortality would have been, so can't determine the value of the OA treatment.

A contrarian might also look at your data and might say, "I wonder whether
you chose nice weather days for treatments, and that the increased mite
drops were the result of weather change, and had absolutely nothing to do
with treatment!"  (Before you go apoplectic, I'm just funnin' you).
