little creatures under leaves

Howdy all.
I got liitle black creatures under the leaves that make a mottled effect on the leaf from above. I suspect spider mites. How do I kill these pests without killing the plant? Any advice would be great.
peace from Afro the red eyed clown.

Mix a tbl spoon of Dawn soap into a gallon of water and mist the plants with this solution. Be sure to mist the underside of the leaves.

Thanks growspecialist I am gonna spray them now. I thought leaning them on their sides so as soap will drip on floor rather than soil.

I use Einstein Oil for spidermites. Its expensive but last a long time. I mist with 1/2 tsp per qt. of water plus CocoaWet to make it stick to the leaves. Its hot where I live so I have to mist every two to three days veg or flower to keep the mites under control. Anytime you mist with anything, make sure the lights are out so you dont burn the buds and spray the top and bottom of leaves. If you mist while flowering dont use Einstein Oil after your final flush and it wont affect the taste or smell.
