Will I need to wear a respirator when spraying Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide outside?

Answer:

According to the Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide Product Label regarding PPE (Personal Protective Equipment): 
Applicators and other handlers must wear: 
• Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants 
• Chemical-resistant gloves – EPA chemical-resistance category B (e.g., barrier laminate or butyl rubber ?14 mils) 
• Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks
• Protective eyewear 
• Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure. 
• Chemical-resistant apron when cleaning equipment, mixing, or loading. 
• For shadehouse and greenhouse uses, applicators and other handlers must wear a dust/mist-filtering NIOSH-approved respirator with any R, P, or HE filter.

So you would not need a respirator when spraying outside as you have plenty of regular and fresh air flow.
