Any tips to get rid of them? insecticidal soap mixed with water okay?

I get a flare up occasionally indoors and out.
Mites will travel from host to host....treat everything close.
Spray the soil, pots and saucers too.....they hide everywhere🪴
Spray your plants in the shower or tub to avoid a mess.....you can leave them in there for a few days till you think you have all under control.
You may take your plants outside for a short time to do your spraying as long as it not freezing.
Use neem with caution because it can damage/smother your plant if applied heavily.
Most garden insecticides will control them also......
