This provides an overview and all the methods to treat (at bottom of article). If you’re in a legal state, you can call your local extension agent.

Also look into diatomaceous earth and sulfur powder to use as a dry dust (I haven’t researched this much as a dry dust so I’m not sure of it’s application during flower).
I was thinking DE to kill the larvae?I remember reading something about sulfur when I first started battling with mites. I shied away from it for reasons I can't remember. DE is pretty much useless against spider mites. It'll keep other crawling soft bellied pests off your plants if the ground below it is dusted but spider mites generally parachute in on webs. Even if you dusted the plant itself (I've done this before) it doesn't get to them on the underside of the leaves.

Elemental Sulfur is generally safe. Approved for organic farming use as a miticide. It has many uses...

It's still the same problem. Spider Mites in all stages tend to be on the underside of the leaves. I 100% agree, if you can get it on them it'll work but the nature of dust is that it settles on upward facing surfaces.
Yeah, I've heard of sulfur being used before by pro-growers. I just remember thinking there was some sort of drawback to it enough for me to shy away. Illhave to look into it again. When I first researched it I didn't know how bad the native mites here were. I need to up my game.
