Greetings, you could try companion/counter plant(s()ing). However clock is ticking they reproduce every three days at an explosive rate.
This may be of use:
#Pesticides
As far a pesticides others will jump in at some point
#Plants
* Garlic – aphids, cowpea curculio, flea beetles, Japanese beetles, Mexican been leaf beetles, root maggots, spider mites and squash vine borers
* Onion – bean leaf beetle, cabbage loopers, carrot flies, flea beetles, harlequin bugs, Mexican bean leaf beetles, mice, rabbits, spider mites and squash vine borers
* Dill – aphids, cabbage moths and spider mites
* Fennel – aphids, slugs, snails and spider mites
* Coriander/Cilantro – aphids, Colorado potato beetles and spider mites
* Chives – aphids, Japanese beetles and spider mites
* Cloves – cowpea curculio, spider mites and squash vine borers
#Predators
* Lady Bugs - Insect level gang bangin. Mites are doomed with enough speedy little lady bugs treating them as a buffet item.
#Mechanical
* Hand Held Vacuum (not the dyson) - Take them off and discard into plastic bag, freeze it and toss out on trash day Can be very time consuming..

Good luck. There is a reason they call them the Borg. Fought mites for the last 4 years. Threw everything and the kitchen sink at them, and at best I did nothing but keep them somewhat at bay. Weeks and weeks of spraying/feeding every "mite killer" under the sun, and a few weeks later, the Borg are back. The best I found for veg is neem oil. The outbreaks never got bad when I did a neem treatment every 7 days. After all this, I discovered a truly miraculous, all be it an extremely difficult cure. Google "growing high brix cannabis" and read everything you can find on it. Six or so months ago I started down the high brix road, and for the last 5 months I've been totally mite free without the use of any sprays, chemicals, or predatory mite killers. Not only that, but the quality of my buds has improved tremendously. Flavors, smell, density, and quantity are all off the charts. Once again, good luck. You are going to need it
