Hello. If you turn up the fans. The mites can't spin their webs in the wind. You still have them, but they can't move around very well so they don't spread very fast. Please try 50% water and 50% high alcohol. You can use food grade alcohol or isopropanol alcohol and a few squirts of dish soap. Tip the plant if it's in a pot or put a sheet around the roots. If the plant gets too much alcohol on its roots it can look drunk for a few days, sort of limp and tilty. Chuck.

A 1-2” layer of Sand (there are other alternatives) will prevent S Mites from returning to their beds in the soil. And the sand will prevent them, from hitting the buffet. Water right through the sand. No issues

I just use a few drops of dawn soap in water and spray the undersides of the leaves first and the the top sides. Do this every few days and you should be on the path to killing all the eggs as they hatch. Mites hate water and the little bit of soap smothers them. The soap wont hurt your root system. Cheers
