that has nothing that would harm you. it also has nothing that would bother the mites really.

one thing you can do is simply give it a good spray down with a garden hose from bottom up. mites hide on the underside of the leaf since it protects them from rain and predators. a decent rain washes piles of them away.

the other thing to look into is a predatory insect like lady bugs. they can be purchased bulk online.

ok

If your spraying for bugs and talking Predator Mites the two doesn't mix .you can do one or the other ..
What are using to get rid of the insects.

Have you gotten rid of every bug on your plants ?
Spider mites if out of control will flat destroy crop .
Its war and the insects came from someplace.

Once you go into flowering, you are now limited to only a few products that can be sprayed on the plant that the toxins do not show up in the bud/flower.

Swirskii (Amblyseius swirskii)

Amblyseius swirskii is an efficient predatory mite used for the control of young stages of the western flower thrips as well as the eggs and young nymphs of white flies. It is a good option for thrips and whitefly management on many ornamental and vegetable crops. It also feeds on red spider mites as well as on broad mites.

Main targets are immature thrips (various species) and whitefly eggs and larvae. Also targets broad and cyclamen mites as well as pollen.

The mites are pale yellow to pale tan while their eggs are white and oval shaped.

Swirskii does not hibernate and develops will in warm, humid environments. Controls thrips at warmer temperatures than cucumeris mites.

Amblyseius cucumeris is a predatory mite widely used in the bio-control of immature thrips (egg and larvae) as well as other species of mites. Although very small (grows to a length of 0.02-0.04 in.) cucumeris can be recognized by its oblong shape and quick mobility along the underside of leaves and in flowers. Its ability to feed on pollen makes it an effective early prevention agent.

Main target pests are Larval stages of western flower thrips. Also targets other thrips larvae, broad mite, two-spotted spider mite, cyclamen mite and pollen.

This mite performs well under cooler temperatures and is often used for thrips prevention early in the season or in northern climates.

Andersoni (Amblyseius andersoni)

Amblyseius andersoni is a predatory mite that feeds on small arthropod prey and pollen. Less than 0.04 in. in length, andersoni mites feed on small arthropod prey and pollen which allows their application before the pest arrival.

Main target pests: Two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychis uriricae) and other mites including European red, broad, cyclamen and russet mites. Additional targets are Western flower thrips.

Often used in tomatoes due to its ability to maneuver between trichomes. They are active across a wide temperature range, allowing for early season introduction into crops yet might enter diapause with cooler temperatures and short day lengths (<10 hr.).

Your probably finding them because they are after the bad mites. Research beneficial insects
