Newbie grower here. I just found spider mites in my veg room. YUCK. I destroyed every plant that was in there. I have plants in my flower room still about 2 weeks away from harvest. What do I need to do to make sure the little suckers are dead and gone in my veg room before I bring in any more plants? From what I've read they are almost impossible to get rid of. Any suggestions, ideas or things that have worked would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
 
If it is under a good vacuum with the exhaust going outside, a product called malathion will obliterate them (you can get it at any home improvement store). Wear a REALLY good mask and spray that shit all over the tent, you won't have mites anymore. You'll need to wipe everything down but....no more mites.

Just the fumes will probably kill everything living, but not plants lol

One of the pesticides on every list of banned products for commercial cannabis use
 
I spray or wipe everything possible with a 10% bleach to water solution and air dry it. For soft porous or bleach sensitive, carpet, I use an essential oil base, peppermint and clove oils at the top of list. I buy an organic flea spray. Clove oil desiccates insects. And it is highly effective as a deterrent to crawling pests.
 
Also, doktor doom bug bomb...set one off every 3-4 days for 3-4 treatments over two weeks. The bleach solution or iso works well for wipe down. I got hit last year, did the above, and knock wood not a one since.
Yes, they are insidious.
Good luck
