some of them might fall off, but the eggs aren't killed by water. Just get some neem oil or whatever everybody is hipstering right now :D

Do it.....just be careful all the water will weight down the plants branches and can snap them.....after, wipe all the eggs off by hand.....lift your lights really high for a week.....and try to make the grow area as cold as possible and you'll get rid of them...

I dunno how well it will work on mites, but a spray bottle full of soapy water worked great on my aphid problem..
