Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide is not labeled to be used inside homes so would not be recommended for cheyletiella mites. We do not have a product that is labeled for Cheyletiella mites (aka walking dandruff) and treating the home is really not necessary as these mites do not live long off of their host animal and do not truly infest a home. This mite is contagious by direct contact with an infected animal. Symptoms can last up to 3 weeks but do go away by that time. If a cat or dog is being reinfested then an egg or mite is being missed during treatment on that animal or another animal they are in contact with.
If you truly feel something needs to be sprayed, then SteriFab would be the recommendation though it has to make direct contact with the mite. It can pretty much be used anywhere and dries in 15-20 minutes and is gone.
Sterifab is a spray not a fog but is the only thing we can advise on.
