I suggest neem oil. Only thing I've ever used, and it works great. You may want to spray a few times, however if that is really the worst part... is it really worth keeping spider mites?

sorry bro but peroxide, thats just H2O2 its like heavy water H3O its just water with an extra atom.. still has the same properties of water and you use peroxide on cuts because the extra oxygen oxidizes bacteria and kills it but it will not do anything to multi-cell organisms

Spidemites are a nightmare.
Floramite 1 app and it keeps killing for 21 to 30 day's.
5,ooo ppm C02 also will kill them. Will have to repeat every 3 day's for 2 weak's no matter what you use.
Except floramite.

That is absolutley not true.
And just because you failed at getting rid of them does not mean it is not posible.
I have erradicated them with Floramite.
The key IMO is to dunk the plant completely. forget spraying you will never get every inch of plant.
Dunk and swirl for a couple moments then water with left over.
Repeat in 5 day's and they are bye,bye.
Do not get me wrong they are a real pain in the ass.
I have lost plant's to them also.
just got to get to know you're enemy.

um,... thats kinda dumb to fog you are kinda inside
The Total Release Fogger will release enough pyrethrin pesticide to control insect pests over a 5,000 cubic foot space. Effective at controlling wasps, flies, moths, fleas and silverfishm, it's safe for household use if all directions and warnings are strictly followed.

I got 17 clones totally infested with those fockers and we cleaned each plants with water, leaf by leaf very gently with fingers. We also sprayed them with neem oil. The sm disappeared for like a week and came back, we sprayed again and it seems that the problem goes away for 3 or 4 days. I guess it is a matter to get used to it! I like the dunk idea. Now, is it convenient to spray them with neem oil during the flowering stage? Good Luck!

They return because the eggs are largely unaffected with applications of Neem and other "organic "compounds. The life-cycle of most spider mites is extremely fast. The Two spotted spider mite develops into a adult female in as little as 4 days. She then lays 70-150 eggs and lives for about 3-4 weeks. A timed re-application of miticides is critical to adequate control. I use Bifenthrin (trade name"Talstar") and get excellent results with a long residual control for mites and othe pests. Also does a helluva job as a general purpose insecticide. It's the PCO's best friend in the industry,. Floramite is very good as well but has restrictions on the label as far as reapplication (one app/ per year NO MORE.)
Zero Tolerance its organic and KILLS them almost instant death. Neem oil you need to be persistant its more of a deterant. If they are allready a problem you need Zero Tolerance or some other organic pesticide floramite is not organic and cant be applyed late in flower keep this stuff in mind.
Use somthing organic when it comes to pesticide so you can always use it even when you dont have pests to keep them away. Should be spraying your guarden every 20 days or so even neen oil can work for that or einstein oil but newer organic pesticides out that kick some hooch to.

Well this noob realized that not all people can just take a plant out and fog it up that’s cool you live in a rural area but most people cant just take some pot plants outside an do thatYou can use it outdoors if you want.
Noobs are funny.
I did look it up online my bad it is actually pretty safe. I assumed most foggers had DET-DEET in it
