In my limited experience mites have only been an issue when identified too late. My guess is that if you catch them early and spray neem frequently enough to kill and disrupt breading for successive genations you can knock them back to the point of not being noticable. My advice is to keep an eye out for them and use appropriate preventative measures. I inspect my plants periodically and I use neem preventatively in veg and early flower. I can't claim that I'm 100% spider mite free, but I can't find them or detect any mite related demage so they are well under control if present.

Neem is not just for preventing, it's also for eradication. I've gotten rid of spider mites with neem before. I sprayed the entire plant with neem top, bottom and stalk two to three times a week. I wiped down the inside of the cab with bleach twice a week. Neem won't kill the eggs but if you break their breeding cycle by being diligent and careful you'll win. Are you washing your hands before handling your plants? Do you have other house plants where the mites are hanging out? Do you clean your grow room and house regularly to prevent re-contamination? Do you go to the park then wear the same clothes/shoes in the grow room? Organics doesn't have a silver bullet solution, but the ocd/rituals do pay off if you do it right. Once you do these things enough it just becomes second nature, you can totally do it! Keep growing!
