Any Integrated Pest Management strategy starts with prevention. As for mites, I would use mechanical means of removal period. Stick a 1.5" or 1.25" ABS pipe on the end of a shop vac. Glue an end cap on one side and drill a few hundreds of small (1/8") holes along the entire length of the ABS pipe. There, now you have a homemade mite vacuuming wand! It will remove webs and mites. Do it in combination with monitoring if the pest population so you can vacuum up the newly hatched mites before they lay more eggs.
Just make sure to empty the wet/dry vac outside your growing space, lol.
