I'm sure it has been mentioned many times in this long thread but mighty wash is the only thing that kills mites and eggs on contact effectively for me.

Sacred secret to never seeing a spider mite 5+ years mite free
Sacred secret to never seeing a spider mite 5+ years mite free
I'm going to impart knowledge from a seasoned growing veteran and Marine. First you must know your enemy. What plants will a fluid sucking vampire spidermite never touch. There are two. Garlic and Chives. Buy some chive seeds and plant a few chives on the 4 corners of your grow room. Grind garlic add to distilled water in a spray bottle and once every 2 weeks spray only the first 6 inches of stem and the floor board on grow room entrance and Air intake area. The smell of chives is like the smell of a dirty diaper to a father....u smell one...u hightail it.

I got mites for the first time unfortunately. Bought a product called Jacks Dead Bug Brew, main ingredient is Spenoid(spelling?) I drenched the plants, only the ones in veg and my seedling chamber have them, and cut off the lights an hour ago
Hoping this will work well? Should I spray again tmrw?

I alternate with Jacks Dead Bug and Pyrethrins ever 3 days or so... seemed to work VERY well on my "Super spider mites"

I would smoke the poo too. Systemic pesticides for a surface bug just doesnt make sense. I have been dealing with mites for about 4 months because I stopped treatments when I thought I was good. But its totally under control. No poo either. I use a bucket of soapy water and wash the mites and eggs off. Then treat with neem and rosemary. I am actually about to the point when I stopped treatments the first time. So its really not that bad. I have the documentation to back up my rosemary treatment if anyone wants it just let me know.

That's not a spider mite, and that's not mite damage. Looks like hot soil or maybe a really messed up pH. I can't ID the bug.
Agreed, it doesn't look like a red spider mite but I'm not sure what it is.
