mites!

I'm dealing with my first mite infestation and wonder if anyone has any input on whether DE or 'dusting powder' (an insecticide) is better/more effective at removing mites. I'd rather go with DE, but have read mixed reviews on its effectiveness. Or, if you have other ideas, I'd welcome those too. thanks!
