    25% rubbing alcohol to water mixture and in a spray bottle was what worked for me

    I recommend frequent rinsing of entire leaf surfaces. You can also buy those sticky traps from Amazon or a Venus flytrap. Neem oil has also been helpful.

    It’s also important that you keep treating consistently. Spider mites lay eggs under the surface or “skin” of the leaves. So even when you get the visible stuff you’ll need to keep treating a few more times

    Do you put them in the same place each time? Because that may be the problem

    I drenched my plants in neem oil and if there were still left by the next week I did it again. My plants have been ok since 🤞

    You can counteract the mites with beneficial mites!! Some places sell them online and you just hand them around the stems of ur leaves and they eat all the bad guys
