I could use some help

I figured out I have more pests than fungus gnats. I discovered spider mites. No webs but at the bottom of the plant there was 'walking dirt' and when I put it under magnification it is the 2 spotted spider mites.
From what I am reading the thrips kill them and it seems that I get rid of thrips I had early on these are now along for the ride.
Tonight I took the vaccum on low and held the small branches I saw them on and sucked the branches and then cleaned the tents and sprayed the walls with 80% alcohol and then put off the fans for 30 minutes in hopes of gassing the buggers.

I am thinking I can make up some very mild insecticidal soap tomorrow with some alcohol, castle soap, citric acid and mint tea and give it a good spray down. I don't know if that will cause issues given this plant is in flower but I figure that it is a lost cause if I don't get these under control.
