Any idea to kill red mites?

Hello fellas. I have a bit of red mites in my plants. I was watering with neem, but I think that this recipe is not very powerful.

Yesterday I sprayed with 50% Isopropilic alcohol and 50% water. I think that is more powerful, but some leaves have cracked a bit.

Can you recommend me a good recipe to kill them all?

Thank you all in advance!

If you are still vegging, a diatomaceous earth(DE), food grade, in a slurry in sprayer....knocks the shit out of insects with exoskeleton, have always had great results. It will dirty up leaves but will clean up sufficiently.......it's saved me from mites and whiteflies.......ends up saving the crop and buds. DE has quite a few uses. Anyway....that's just me....it's a godsend for me......all those home remedies did nothing for me........I have only had an insect problem twice(same year) in about 50yrs. We use it also for flea control.

DE is a good option. Iso usually works well too. I'd imagine after your iso spray you knocked most of them out. I'd spray them with neem in a couple days as a preventative and then just keep an eye on things.
