How the fuck do I get rid of spider mites?
These bastards on everything. Patio plants, house plants, the plants in my tent. I've been bombing them with neem oil every two days for weeks now.

I'm thinking about getting predatory mites, any other ideas? Thanks guys.

In the winter, the thing I suggest wouldn't work. If you're anywhere with warm enough days to put the plants outside, you can set them out and then pitch a handful of diatomaceous earth to properly dust over the entire plant. What I do is to spike it down into the pot so it poofs up and dusts the underside of leaves. Just don't inhale it or you'll end up with asbestosis.

Do not try this inside. Like I said, asbestosis. Lung damage. Diatomaceous earth isn't the thing you want lingering in the air or being stirred up. Once the plant itself is dusted and everything's settled, it should be okay. But just don't be near where you're using it for a bit.

Little too cold outside for some of these guys where I am, but DE is a great idea.
