Just done the first spray there was absolutely loads but seemed to kill all I could see, should I do another tomorrow or wait a couple days?

What’s the most effective way to get rid of mites without burning down the coop? It’s a small wooden prefab coop which has mites in, I tried spraying it each day with this mite spray my neighbour gave me but think it’s quite cheap and rubbish. I have chicks waiting to go in the coop but don’t...
