are your plants in flower?
No, I am holding off flower till this is dealt with, I am figuring if they comeback at change of cycle then I will flip the lights 11 days into my 14 day spidermite holocaust. Thus bringing them back up out of the coco, promix and into the diatomaceous eath to there doom, mwahahaha. During this it dawned on me, it maybe a little easier if after this harvest I disinfect everything and just do hydroponic next time, that way if I do get them again there's no soil for the little bungholes to hibernate in?

they cant live in the soil unfortunately they will go down there and wit till the poison is gone so always spray the top of soil too. if your not in flower i would go for it the way you planned

I live in the same room as the plants so that is also a concern.
I don't mean to scorn you in anyway, but this is probably why you have issues with mites in the first place. We bring them into the grow room, they dont migrate through a house searching for pot plants. They are tiny and everywhere and hitch free rides on our clothes, shoes E.T.C all the time. You may get rid of them for the time being but if you are living in the same room as the tent, sadly you might get hit once again.
