Many people have experienced/ encountered mites . A bit of research (Articles) and reading threads on this forum will show you there are different kind of mites...
Red mite know 3 stages.
Egg - larvea - mites.
The mite-egg can survive a long time before they turn into crawling larvea. Some say many months and once I read over a year.
The mites die in freezing cold. The eggs don’t. Every next spring you need to monitor weekly. And best twice every week...

Next is my way and maybe you and other readers on...
