OK. I'n a newb, but successfully battled these fuckers and WON! Here is how I did it.
1. Buy mighty wash. Use as directed. SATURATE the entire plant<---leave a fan on though until it dries completely.
2. Wait 2 days then SOAK em with water. Top and Bottom<---use fan again until dry
3. Buy some neem oil. Mix as directed and SOAK entire plant top to bottom. So much that the leaves are just dripping shit everywhere, floor and all.<---Fan again
4. Next watering, use some neem(i used the recommended dosage for foliar feeding) and do a root soak. I used about 1 gallon/neem per 5 gallon bucket of my plants.
5. Soak entire plant again with water.<---use fan
6. Get a Hot Shot No Pest strip and leave in the room sealed with no fan running(exhaust or otherwise) for 12 hours. Repeat this step for 3 days.
That's how I won the battle. No signs of em yet, knock on wood(knock knock). Hope this helps. If it does, thank all the other forum users as I combined EVERY solution together to combat these evil enemies(worse than IRAN!!!!)

Where do spider mites come from, and is there a way to prevent them instead of having to battle em?

They come from the air. They are very light so a light breeze can carry them pretty much anywhere. Just remember, DOUBLE CHECK ALL clones/transplants before entering your garden. I made that mistake.

just like when you get crabs, herpes, clap, warts, auto-immune difficienceys and whatnot....... they usually originate from a dirty skank who don't know how to take proper precautions to stay clean and disease free.... same rule applies to your questions asking where do they come from....... they will usually come from dirty skanks who dont really give a fuck.... it is your duty to give a fuck and respect your plants as much as you do your body, or they too will succumb to the perils of what the previous owner lacked to take care of...... damn dirty fuckin growers. Keep that growroom cleaner than your fuckin house jigga

Best to get rid of all plants and completely fumigate your grow room to be 100% sure they are gone. This also lessens the chance of future infestation. But if you are sure you can get rid of them with store bought products, good luck.
