You only found 1 mite? When there is 1 there are usually more hiding....
There are insecticides that are safe and undetectable close to the day of harvest. As a matter of fact, here is one of them, at the farm you will find "OGBIOWAR". Look right to the ad banners. I would get all 3 packs, but in your case, most importantly the "foliar pack". Follow the instructions.

No, it won't. Use isopropyl alcohol for the mites and good luck with the gnats.

Spider mites dont have wings...
If your window is open than these are most likely bugs drawn to the heat and humidity...
At the moment... I dont think there is anything to worry about.
Pick up some yellow sticky traps and set them just above the soil level and collect the bugs and Keep on truckin....

If it turns out to be fungus gnats I highly recommend BTi. Got rid of mine in one watering. It's organic too.

Got mine off eBay. Was pretty cheap too. I paid less than £6.00 and I have lots left over for future use. It's a powder of bacteria. There is also one made of fine glass powder you top dress on top. Cuts up the maggots.
