Nope. Mites wont build up a tolerance to Azamax/Azatrol.
Would you mind elaborating on why you believe that is true?
It seems there is an awful lot of people saying the contrary, whereas I've seen very few people claiming that they won't build tolerance.
I understand Azadirachtin is a complex chemical, and the few people who have said mites won't build resistance mention it's mode of action, but without any supporting detail. Just wondering if you can illuminate the issue further.
If I recall correctly, Azamax must contact the mite directly, making Azamax less effective as an overall treatment, as it is difficult to hit every mite with spray (they hide everywhere ugh).
There was a product called Stirrup M. It's some sort of mite pheromone like stuff, to attract the mites to the freshly applied spray (whatever it may be, whether Azamax or Avid + some other ovicide). Unfortunately, Stirrup M is no longer registered for use in North America.
