What I did was put a couple of them near your plants and at lights off turn off all fans and any ventalarion. Do this for 3 dark periods. After that I put one of them in a ziplock and left the other one right in the middle of my plants. about a week later I did it again with the 2 strips and no fans for 3 more nights. After doing it twice and leaving one in at all times I have not seen another Fukin mite. I keep the strips in my veg and my flower rooms always kinda as preventive maintenance.
Works for me.
Some people will tell you that they are dangerous, and they are if you eat them or stay around them and breath the fumes but why would you do that? I did plenty of research before using them and found out that the active ingredient breaks down to nothing harmfull within a couple of days. My old college roommate is a chemist and I had him check into the safety of using them for this application and after he looked into it he assured me it would be safe. In fact, he said he would be the first to smoke any from that batch, and he was. Pretty convincing to me. I have used them constantly since then.
I only had them that one time. I caught them by bringing a plant or two outside to get some sunlight and bring them back in ln the growroom with the rest of my plants. Them lil bastards hitchhiked on those plants and found heaven when they got inside. So watch out with any in and out plants. I had a G-13 labs diesel auto freebie in the growroom at the time of the outbreak but that one plant did not have a single mite on it while my blue dream mother was covered with them. All the other plants I had going had average damage but that one was fine and dandy. They don't like certain terpenes and love some others.
BTW that auto diesel was AWESOME. It smelled like sprite and lightly of gasoline while growing and tasted the same as the smell. I know you ain't asking about that but I loved that plant SOOO much. Wish I coulda cloned it or would have thought to self it but oh well.
I hope you get something out of this long ass post. My bad. I'm full of that TOH (Tijuana original haze) and it has me rambling. Love dat shit. Ok I'll shut up now.
Good luck with your mite killing spree!

Is it one plant in your garden? If so I would put one hanging at the middle of her and the other one near the bottom. I would probably put something about the same height as my pot so the bottom of the pest strip is at the level of the soil or bottom branch.
DONT PUT IT ON YOUR PLANT. NO DIRECT CONTACT.
I would leave the bottom one right where it is as long as it's not going to get too hot, but I would take out the one hung mid height as to not risk getting it got enough to melt the gel inside.

In veg, floramite and avid rotation combined with tetrasan. Dip, not spray. Easy peesy. Mites are not a problem, aphids are a little more of a challenge 
If in flower and didn't dip prior to flower with above then you were slacking and are now limited to less effective options that will not eliminate but may slow mites.

ive had spidermites late in flower, have you? to say my statement is bullshit leads me to believe u havt. cold temps will slow down a infestation and if the buds are for you vacuming them off works great. smoking a few bugs isnt the end of the world. obviously i wouldnt be givibg these buds to a medical patient or anything. and calling stuff u have obviously never done bullshit is quite silly. desperate times call for desperate measures. but paying money for deonized water aka mighty wash is retarded.

i have a product called tetrasan which is made to kill spidermites. only one that works if u have mites that come from other growers. when the mutes survive a few generatiins in a growers room they become resistant to the normal products weed growers use like floromite avid neem ect. but NO CHEMICAL pesticide can be used in flower.

I don't think the cfls will be hot enough o make a difference so just leave them there if not blocking light. If you do take the upper down just set it in the corner of growroom out of the way where kids or pets can't get at it.
Sorry bud, no journal. But...
