I recently discovered a few bugs in my grow. I remember reading somewhere that a high humidity level (80-90%) over a period of two to three days will kill those fracking bugs. Has anybody ever tried this method?

My understanding is that they (spider mites) absorb the excess moisture causing them to swell up and explode, or something like that. If exploding causes death then that's a good thing. My concern would be mold.

Anybody have an opinion?
