I bought a few bags of Happy Frog I'm seeing people say the soil has spider mites Is that true and if yes can I spray the soil before using it with 91%Isopropyl Alcohol. Would the Alcohol hurt the plant when I'm ready to use the soil

If you are worried about spider mite eggs being present in the soil, you can bake the soil. Take a look google for the correct temperature because if you do it correctly you can kill off the eggs but retain the bennies.

Why don’t you crack the bag and see for yourself? You said, “people say.” Unless the shop you bought it from doesn’t store it correctly or has a pest issue, you should be fine.

I don't think spider mites spend any part of their life cycle in soil.

If a seller stores bags of cannabis soil outside in the weather, I would shop elsewhere, unless you're in the desert or something.
