#1 I would say switch your monitoring to a wash... better data point and the ability to compare with outhers
#2 would be to use minumin cems to max effect.. ie hit new splits and swarms while they are brood less. and induce a broodless period with say a fly back split to hammer the mites way back in the spring with a single OAV/dribble giveing them a clean restart.
The was a time I could manage my stock with just the spring fly back split (no cems) and a winter broodless drible I have had to add a post flow apaguard as of late to fend off mite bombs
