There is a way. I had them years ago. Sprays and more airflow helps. But predators for the win.
I saw this Big Eyed Bug devour a mite under a microscope. Crazy shit. I saw the mite, then I saw this guy attack and eat that sucker in like a second. I hit record, but I was too slow. By that time he was just cleaning his hands.
I picked up my Microscope, digital Wi-Fi on Amazon for $29.95 and it works absolutely awesome, way better than a jewelers loupe. Plus I can take video and pictures with it to look at after leaving the room. It makes going thru your plants quick and easy.

Like Kgrim i picked up a decent Amazon scope. I am giving A. cucumeris mites a shot for my thrips, they did arrive yesterday and i deployed them. I think these eat spidermite eggs but not adults. Im sure theres predators for them, but i have never dealt with them. Im with the scorch the earth and start over crowd, if you an confirm spidermites. It doesnt look quite right for thrips so thats probably it.

imho -
while I think it would be controversial here (and not 'organic'), the concentrated version of Bug Clear Ultra (Acetamiprid - a mild neonicotinoid), lightly sprayed on plant about two/three weeks into grow (one spray, in the plants early lifecycle, is all you need). I veg for around 6 weeks.
fyi; You would never spray close (and certainly not IN) flower. Bad Juju for sure!
Spraying early in grow means, I never get any bugs (including mites) now.
It is also a contact killer, if you sprayed the plant/s, all bugs would be gone (probably) the next day.
The damage (on the current foliage) would sadly remain.
And, it is out the plants system by about week 6 of flower.
If you grow in a tent ..and If any mites show up (after week 6), dropping the lights well below 12/12 (to say 10/14) will stop the mites reproducing (halting any progress). Although, I've never had an issue with mites after the Bug Clear has left the plants system (not enough time for them to build up from zero, I guess
FYI - I even had effective results, when I tried using a half strength solution too. If the mites are not hardcore Borg in your area, you could try that first
Peace.
