I fight bugs everyday in my line of work, and if you use the same thing over and over, the bugs develop a resistance to whatever it is you're using. Floramite and Hexygon were considered to be some of the best miticides available to greenhouse growers for many years. Now they can drink that stuff, and thrive. It's best to not use the same thing for any longer than a month or two. In either case you can kill the bugs but you can't kill the eggs. If you enlarge the picture down below you can see a very large spider mite and eggs all around him. You can also see where he's shed his exoskeleton a few times, and some broken open egg shells. The black dots are bug poop. Spider mites life cycle is over in 20 to 30 days, after 3 days she can lay up to 10 eggs per day. Those eggs hatch in 3 to 5 days. You have to spray every 5 days until they're gone. But whatever you use, the next generation will be immune to it. This was taken with a USB microscope 100 x.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
