It could happen. Maybe it just just a few that got out and hid somewhere untreated and then they multiplied until they were noticed again. Here's a really good write up from VPI on them.

They obviously came from somewhere and I've seen mites hid out on racks etc and then boom you've got a problem. I have not personally had a mite experience but I watched a very good friend of mine struggle with a serious mite issue and everything in the entire room had to be treated with Pam. Not just the sub but entire rack, wires, thermostats, etc.
