They had different percentages at Home Depot. I got the 5%. Is that right? So 1/2 tsp under each nest towards the entrance right?

Thanks again.

5% is correct. I thought it was 1/4 tsp. But I am not for sure. You will get a post soon about the amount. I think its in the archives somewhere

Yes, I believe those that are using it are using 5%.

The 5% is fine, 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon is fine. Sevin is very good at killing mites, ti don't take much to kill them. Usually 1/4 is enough, but since you already have mites, you may wish to try a bit more.
