The spicey stuff like cayenne.
The mites are allergic to the burn and go away (die). The soap helps wet the plant thouroughly, and the onion and garlic provide an antiseptic action, as well as a repelling smell to help prevent re-infestation.
Also, as previously stated, you can substitute oil and vinegar for the soap and have a nice salad dressing or marinade...
By the way, I lived in Rapid City for a couple years, and applaud you for growing bananas in the Banana Belt.
