Both are for indoor use only, as they break down in sunlight. Methoprene is applied as a wetting spray, hydroprene as an aerosol space apray. Neither will affect adult insects; they work on future generations by preventing growth or maturation. Their effects are not limited to mites: cockroaches, fleas, mosquitos, & other insects will be aborted.
