I notice a mite problem so I sprayed malathion about 90 minutes ago. I am inside now because it is raining hard. I feel that I have wasted the time spraying but I am not sure just how long pesticides take to do the work.
What are you thoughts? Spray again or is 90 minutes enough time?

Malathion does not last long to begin with (about a day) and for bugs like mites that are not very mobile, 90 mins is probably all you need.
