man that sux i hate spider mites!!!!!!! cheapest way water and dish soap but make sure no to much soap or will kill the plant... or go to local grow shop and buy an actual spray that says will kill spidr mites....the best way is buying other bugs that will eat those but kinda expensive good luck.... spray from bottom to top lifting leaves up with one hand and spraying the other cause the bugs live underneath not on top.... KILL THEM ALL

If you don't mind fishing around in the woods, I found a ground beetle that ate all my spider mites in one night, he got huge. Just poke around in the woods a bit and try to find either a carnivorous bug or try to catch some lady bugs. Like I said the ground beetle is carnivorous and eats fast. I named mine San Pedro
