How to deal with spidermites near harvest?

So I'm nearing harvest and about 2weeks ago I noticed some eggs from spidermites underneath one of my plants fan leaf (this plant was furthest from the fan) I sprayed the unders of all the fan leaves in the grow with my organic pesticide and the next day everything was gone!.. Now I see on a few of the leaves sticking out the buds on that plant have eggs again.. I put it directly in front of the fan to discourage them, I don't want to spray anything near the buds so what the best option ?.. It's a very small infestation on only about 4 small fingers sticking out of the main cola..can I use something to wipe and kill them? Like bleach or alcohol wipe?

vacuum

yes shop vac,put a little water in it also something on the exhaust so u dont blow them back in.

Mighty Wash

You can also always pick the leaves that are infested.

Best option is prevention, of course (I know it's too late this time) - but keeping a clean room, sterilized equipment, and not tracking in pests goes a VERY long way.

trash can unless you like to smoke mite corpses.

Trash can like the rest of your advice, unless OP likes getting dumber by reading your crap.

Not the trash can, it was only a few mites I wiped them with organic pesticide and got rid of them a week before harvest... Trash can...

Your choice, but i don't smoke anything that's been sprayed with pesticides or has had bug/mold problems. My lungs are too important to me.

Extract it all

Cls or cryo etoh wash

3% h202 sprayed directly on the leaves to kill the spider mites, their eggs and a vacuum to remove webbing and a shit losd of adults but be careful.

Check the h202 on a leaf for the first time to ensure it doesnt react bad but it shouldn't. Only spray after lights out or else you'll burn the shit out of your plants. I speak from experience that this does help but needs to be done every two to three days for a week or more

It also treats pwm as a bonus!

Incase you're worried about smoking h202 dont be because it completely evaporates over time. I do a complete dunk of all my harvest even if I don't see pwm or mites just to be safe.
