What happens if I add thyme to my smoker fuel? What if I add rhubarb leaves? 

Will I knock my mite load down significantly? Or will I just encourage resistance to thymol and OA?

If they are dry enough, they will burn and make smoke.

>Will I knock my mite load down significantly?

No.  The efficacious dose would be about a thousand times that concentration.

> Or will I just encourage resistance to thymol and OA?

No.  Not enough active ingredient to matter.
