Sorry, not gonna work... the eggs are measured in microns and you just wont get them all. Use a spray or predator mites, something like Safer brand, Floramite (expensive) or ladybugs. They are damn near impossible to get rid of, only to keep under control. Good luck.

chop ur grow , lay cockroach bombs (overkill!!!). clean equipment with bleach.

then start over

thats what i had to do, realy anything other than that is an uphill battle

I wouldn't give up just yet, I've been having the same problem. I used some Dr. Doom fogger and it seems to have worked. It may be a last resort but I know I didn't care. I've heard guys use it up until 3 days before harvest and said the bud was great, with no taste of chemical. All I know is I'd rather try foggers than give up.

Good luck.

Pyrethrum spray work well, u can also use neem oil or tobacco juice. But pyrethrum works the best!

lady bugs all the way

lady bugs only work in small spaces and if the population of spider mites is small. I'd go with the Dr. Doom for larger problems.
