Can you see spider mite eggs with the naked eye?

you can't see the ones that fell in the soil. that's why it is good to use neem as a soil drench same directions as foliage for gal/ml
WORD!!!!!
When you can see spidermites without looking for them, its too late.
I would spray now.. Like now, unless its lights out for you, then spray your next light on cycle. Mites work in hours. I had a grow room go from fine (saw evidence of a few mites on several plants) to the start of a full on infestation within like 20 hours. Within that time they had started their web networks and such.
The conditions were just right for that, but I don't recommend you risk it.
Dude if it really is the end of times, that sucks lol. I hope not, but I'm not arrogant enough to say I know for sure everything.
We should all just stop fighting and get along

Earlier today I posted this deal on the 'Organic Soil' board:
PeaceSeaweed products have properties which help a plant fight off pathogens & invaders. [cite]
I purchased a small pack of neem seed meal for a friend.
On the back of the box was instructions on brewing up a 'neem seed meal tea' so I added 1/4 cup kelp meal in 5-gallons of water and bubbled it out for 12 hours or so. I then added the appropriate amount of neem seed meal and bubbled it out for another 24 hours or so.
I also added the appropriate amount of Dyna-Gro Pro-TeKt (liquid silicon) and applied this mixture to my plants.
1. The plants responded very well to the mixture - more of a 'fertilizer' </snerk> than a 'fix' for mites and powdery mildew.
2. Sometimes using this mixture is preferable to using the need seed oil products since you don't have to be concerned about which emulsifier to use, etc.
3. This mixture is effective as a soil drench to wipe out gnats.
4. It's friggin' cheap.
Just a thought and some observations on my little experiment

Kelp/seaweed extracts contain specific agents which prevent the spider mites from garnering nutrition from the leaves and more importantly inhibit the spider mites eggs from hatching.

I add neem seed meal to my own soil mix. The use of neem seed meal as an adjunct (I HATE the term amendment) to a successful organic grow at the rate of about 1/4 cup per 1 cf. of my potting soil and I apply neem seed meal tea (as per the directions on the package/box) to the soil to prevent gnats and to inject into the plant the specific agents contained in this product into the plant as it prevents them from 'dining' and reproducing.
Neem seed meal also provides any number of added benefits for the organic soil grower.
