Can you kill mites for good?

So Im outs and I find mites on rather large bushy plants.

Iv been spraying with Nukem from flying skull every 3 days for 2 weeks.
Today I get out my 300x microscope and watched eggs hatching?

I thought ever 3 days would kill them?

I dig deep in the bushy plant and leaf and bug damage?

I have a hudson atomizer fogger.

Im using 2 oz per gallon, the people that make nukem suggested 8 oz a gallon to kill eggs.

Im thinking of going back to safer soap or Azomaz.

Im also thinking nukem is a great product but still want to try something because every 3 days with no 100% kill rate is getting exhausting.

Try some Mighty Wash by NPK Industries.
It will certainly kill mites and eggs .
If you hit them they will die. eggs and all.
The atomist should do a great job but I prefer a airless paint sprayer for more control . Also with the atomist in my situation it's a little harsh . I'm indoors and can't get that much distance between the nozzle and the plants. those things are wicked but I like my airless paint sprayer.

Thing is...those little bastards get immuned to your same treatment. Switch up a cpl different chemicals and spray your medium and surrounding area. Power spraying helps keep them at bay if youre in flwr and cant treat.

Assuming
TetraSan is illegal in California and requires suit, gloves and goggles, boots?
I have all that, hate all that.

We wanted to juice the leaves for patients but looks like not my year,

KEEP MAKING COMMENTS!
Iv sprayed 15X with the fogger and so much iv worn out the motor and its heating up and about to catch fire (They do catch fire)

Holy crap...thats dedication....but imo I wouldnt jump at the 1st advice and drop 3 bills just on a sprayer. I havnt looked but I assume there is a fuckton of info on spider mites on this site. A bit of research may save you alot of cash

So, they recommended using 8 oz and you used 2 and you are surprised it didn't work? Nuke em also claims they can't build up a tolerance and also claims to kill broadmites. Maybe use it at recommended strength and see if you get results.

the dose on the bottle is 2oz on nukem.

But can they be 100% killed is my question. Not controlled but killed 100% every mite.

I killed mites for good although it was indoors. I used a habanero pepper spray I cooked up. I found the recipe on the internet. It killed those bastards in a week and a half. Best part is its all natural. I was 6 weeks into flower ands it didn't affect buds taste or smell in any way.
