Mites are indeed a menace.

I just finished winning the war with red eyed spider mites that got on my plants from some jalepeno peppers this fall.

They suck the green outta the undersides of the leaves. Makes it look like salt or something sprinkled on them.

They object you show if for FUNGUS and more. I don't know if you need the extra stuff or not. But the Home Depot sells the same brand for pests alone.

It will work but here is the problem...

Your mites have cycle stages...the spray will only work on the adult / juvenile aged mites.

They spray you want in soap is really salts of essential fatty acids. This rips open the membrane of the adult/juvee mite and kills them.

However, in 4 to 14 days, depending on temps, eggs will hatch again.

You need to get them right as they hatch lest in 4 days they breed and lay new eggs.

So, the answer is yes it will work, but you need to apply every 3 - 4 days and you MUST saturate the plant leaves...every single one of them.

I pour johnsons baby shampoo in a 5 gallon bucket and took my tomatos and just dunked them in the solution.

If your container is too large to allow you to dunk them, just spray each and every fricking single leaf every 3-4 days for the next 14-21 days. This is hard on the plants, so, every OTHER day, I spray them down with clear water to help unclog the stomata of the leaf.

The clear water will not kill on contact but if your sprayed well, you should have killed all adults/juveniles and be fine. Just make sure you spray again and again to kill the new hatchlings.

Also, you should wipe down all surfaces, walls or spray other plants that are near them. They came from somewhere and it helps to ID the source.

On my non flowering plants, I just cracked open 3 cans of the RAID fogger and let em rip...this works but again, it doesnt kill the eggs.

Also, you need to intend on plants growing another 60-90 days for the chems to breakdown and let the UV rays from the lights help break them down. By then, you can flower and be free of contaminents.

I also tried, in vein, the predator mite stuff. Hell half of them die by the time they are delivered and it just didnt work out. I did get to see some predators eat some spider eggs and that was cool!

But a waste of money really.

Hope this helped.
