Got a daily mite drop of 13 on hive and 10 on another, do you think I need to take action just yet? What values of mite drop are you all getting?

HAB

We've been fogging with FGMO every couple of weeks and now after fogging are seeing only 5-10 on a 24hr sticky board below a SBB.
Been using DE in foam poster board and now our SHB are practically gone (never seeing more than two or three still living) also.
Plus a little DE in a large circle (no closer than 6ft from hive) has totally (as in Zero Ants) taken care of the ant problem. :) :) :)

40 or more is probably a problem.  Less probably isn't yet.
