when I buy clones before I bring them inside what do I need to spray them with to kill spider mites and eggs
 
Dip or spray in "end all ". You have to spray or dip every seven to ten days to be sure eggs are killed too! That applies to other topicals too!

...first you should quarantine them from the rest of your op for the first week or two so you can be sure they are pest free before exposing your other plants to the new additions.

...as for treatments there are several, some more severe than others so the best thing you can do is research the life cycle of the spider mite and the conditions that favor them.

...one thing worth noting is that soap works as an acid on mite shells so it is an easy addition to any other treatments you may decide to apply. ...a couple of drops of common dish soap in a spray bottle of water will kill the mites it hits but it won't kill the eggs so you'll need to reapply every couple of days, ...but you can't really do this in flower or you risk moldy buds.

...i can't stress enough though, study the bug and you'll learn how to beat it.

peace, bozo
 
Just another bozo....wisely gave good advice on the quarantine and to study the bug on the net,etc
Not all spidermites are the same,depending on where you live. Some have developed immunity to certain sprays,etc!
And I hope you have a jeweler loupe or magnifier to see the little bugger and their eggs.

Show them no mercy,their not a parasite,their plant killers,I hate them!
