70% Isopropyl alcohol strong enough to sanitize shoes?

It looks like we have a consensus from the RIU pros :) Ordering shoe covers and tacky mats today. No more ISO spraying. Thank you guys. I shit you not this website is about the only place I don't hate fucking people and actually enjoy conversing with them :)
Right on

In an attempt to prevent any future bugs entering my grow room through shoes I am now filling a 32oz spray bottle with isopropyl alcohol and spraying my shoes thoroughly before entering the grow room. Even though my shoes are used only for getting into the grow room I still spray them in the off chance an egg has transferred from my upstairs carpet to the downstairs landing area of my basement directly in front of my flower room door. Spraying my shoes down is the last preventative to kill any hitchhikers before I walk into my flower room. I will be burning through a good amount of ISO moving forward. It's cheap so that's okay. I'm looking at walmart who has a 2-pack of 70% ISO for $3.92. I figured I'd order 10 packs of that and I should be set for about a year on ISO. Amazon has 99% pure gallons for $35, but that's horribly overpriced in my opinion for ISO. You're paying for Amazon convenience. My question is will the 70% be effective enough to kill mite eggs or should I source the 91-93% more concentrated ISO?
I'd pass the aisle with the alcohol in walmart, and go straight for a pair of comfy slippers just for entering the room.
