How do I eradicate these

Had spider mites during the 4th week of flower. Bought some Lost Coast off of Amazon and followed the instructions. I carried the plants outside on the deck and drenched them with the solution. While they dried, I vacuumed and bleached the entire tent. I repeated this for 5 days straight and it worked…no more mites. However, it did wash some of the trichomes off of the sugar leaves (due to the alcohol in the solution), but the buds are still frosty.

buying those paracites for mites is a great preventative in the growing of cannabis.
you can also bug bomb tents too, sulphur candels too. both great to kill off anything ion your grow tent

The good ol bin burn huh… these are outdoors. Do you guys know what it is?

Aphids? I've got a bush in my back yard that started getting these a few years ago, by the time you notice they're everywhere, they leave a tar like residue. I'll be removing that bush for burning soon.

Caterpillars for sure, not sure what the unfocused black things are in the egg mass.
Doesn't matter what they are at this point, do a knockdown spray first...what are you doing for IPM so far?

Alternating neem and bt
Bt tends to break down, older bottles lose potentcy. It rapidly breaks down in sunlight also.
It's pretty effective on 1st instar of bugs, increase the dosage and reduce the application interval.
I do 4-5 day interval in bud season, 5-7 days depending on rain in late veg.

I've given up on neem oil, most is such poor quality for garden useage. It's also had most the azirdiractin extracted.
Most agricultural oil is more refined to remove the waxes, and is easier to mix and spread than neem oil.
