Does anybody have a good mixture of essential oils that work to get rid of spider mites on indoor plants?

I’m not sure essential oils on their own will do it but I made this mixture and applied it weekly after rinsing off the plant and the spider mites were gone by three weeks.

be careful with using dish soap. most dish soap’s are detergents and the can damage your plant’s leaves. a better option is using castille soap. Dr Bronner’s is easily found and is a safer option.
