I used an alcohol solution when killing white mites. The reason why. Alcohol evaporates and does not leave a taste in the mouth. I would do this first
Step 1
Isolate the infected plant. Spider mites spread quickly if plants are in close proximity.
Step 2
Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol.
Step 3
Rub the alcohol over the infected areas to kill the adult spider mites. Alcohol does not kill spider mite eggs.
Step 4
Monitor the plants closely for new spider mites as the eggs hatch. Reapply alcohol to kill the new spider mites. It may take several weeks to rid your plants of spider mites.
After you wipe the leaves down. I would use cinnamon oil derived product called Cinnamite or Neem oil. Either one is fine.
Its all about repetition. There are no short cuts in growing. It takes time and effort. This method is bit labor intensive but it sure beats tasting RAID.
