For the people that think they can buy a product and spray once and be done with mites, you are in for a dissapointment. If you buy systemic pesticides that do kill eggs and all, you are just adding to the toxins that people ingest. First, you need to clean clean and clean some more. Bleach the walls, the floor and the pots before re-use. Keep dead leaf matter off of the floor and plants. Find a spray that is non-toxic and spray spray spray. You will need to spray at least 3-4 times to kill off the eggs that hatch. When you see no more mites, spray again! Without cleaning the environment as well you will just be spraying again later.
I personally use 2 TBSP of neem and 1 good squirt of concentrated dawn dish soap per gallon. It will take 3-4 applications but it definatly works. Why spend $$$$ on products when you can make your own. Pyrithrins are overrated and many mites build up tolerances to it quickly.
Also this mix is gentle on plants and I spray the hell out of clones with it and no wilting or leaf burn.
