I'd advocate testing for mites and if you see more than 6 in a wash or a 24
hour drop that you treat with the new MiteAway pads during spring, summer or
fall and then 'always' treating in January (Natcik Mass) with Oxalic. Test
for mite drop/presence every 6 weeks from April 1 until November 1.
Hope this helps,
Lloyd
