Slider mites aren't from bacteria. They are widespread and affect far more than cannabis. However from a scientific paper from Cornell:
"Because abamectin is nearly insoluble in water and has a strong tendency to bind to soil particles, it is therefore immobile in soil and unlikely to leach or contaminate groundwater (6, 7). Compounds produced by the degradation of abamectin are also immobile and unlikely to contaminate groundwater (6)."
Nearly insoluble in water!
No. In my opinion .

"Rosemary oil can be sprayed easily onto the leaves of infested plants and will kill the spider mites. Make a solution of 1 teaspoon of rosemary oil with 8 ounces of water. ... Rosemary essential oil effectively gets rid of pest and does not harm the Phytoseiulus persimilis the beneficial predatory mite."

Yes and there are other essential oils that work. Non-toxic to humans.

Up to you but this is why I never accept pot from growers I don't know.
