I did the following once a week when my monstera caught spider mites:  
\- Isolated the plant  
\- Showered her off  
\- Sprayed her aggressively with Neem oil  
\- Removed any visible spider mites using tape between/after treatments.  
I did this for approximately 5 weeks.  
I’m now currently watching her like a hawk; and plan to do one treatment a month until at least the new year.
