spraying mites close to harvest?

I don't have full infestation, but I do have some mites on 30% leaves, two different kinds. (round & clear with random black spots, longer ones that are whitish in color). I am 1-2 weeks from harvest. Trichomes are mostly milky. My questions;

1. Should I spray with neem this close to harvest? I know the taste will be affected so should I delay harvest until smell goes away? will the smell go away while drying/curing?

2. Neem full strength or diluted.? How much diluted.
3. Will this damage trichomes?
4. Should I trim fan leaves and spray buds instead?
Thank you for all your answers in advance.

I have the same shit with my girls, someone posted to try Alcohol and water 1 on 1 ,i have buds the size of half dollars and 6 " long and they said it would not hurt the buds and kill the Mites!!
Going to give it a try after the sun goes down.. Neem oil won't kill the eggs

My trich are already going cloudy..Still think I have two weeks at lest left

Thanks for your response and the tip about the eggs, Thought neem was the cure all.
I'm gonna try alcohol on a few leaves as a test after sun is off plants and they cool down. see if it cooks them.

i open co2 tanks all the way open . make sure room closed and sealed . cuz co2 at 10,000 ppm can kill mites . go in open co2 leave the room . come back in 4 hours . mites be all over on soil

This is very dangerous. Co2 at 10,000ppm WILL kill you. Opening up a 20lb co2 tank without regulators will fly and hurt/kill someone. I have brought the room in my journal to 10,000 ppm for 4 hrs and nothing. I have had friends keep it at 10000 for longer and it retards your plants. Just a warning

Will adding CO2 keep the Mites count down?

if you're in US no pest strips are the best.. 100% success... and I have a small grow area near pets so only put in there 2-3 days a week..then wrap and keep in bag...

and if close to harvest 70%++ alc. mixed 50-50% with water makes good leaf stem spray...but only do 1-2 times.. (not buds)

I had a plant that was fully infested and killed most off with 1 spray...

in canada the no pest strips are at Reno depot/home hardware.

no pest strips eh? I will try these.

Do you have any pictures? Also remember no pest strips contain a neurotoxin.
