My friend's daughter has mites in their attic. They've had pesticides sprayed 3 times now with no change. Any ideas?

What problem are the mites causing? I haven't heard of mites in attics but I don't get around much. :)

What do mites like? What do they eat? Does anything eat them? When in battle, know thine enemy.

What about spraying orange oil instead? Or hot pepper?

Most likely she is dealing with Rodent Mites. She needs to eliminate the source and then the attic will need to be treated with either a dust product i.e Eco-Exempt dust which is a botanical product or with a boric acid dust which I am not real fond of. The alternative is a liquid application with a concentrated orange oil product. If a chemical is being used then there will need to be an I.G.R. product added to it.(Not a suggested route)
