I'm really struggling with a persistent spider mite infestation in my plants, and I'm starting to panic because they're spreading quickly! I've already tried a whole bunch of remedies like insecticide (specifically Careo Rose spray), canola oil, neem oil, and even introducing predatory mites and lacewing larvae, but nothing seems to work. I'm open to anything strong to finally get rid of these mites. I need solutions that can be found in the EU, especially Austria, since American products are banned here. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

You might want to switch to a true miticide like Dr. Stähler Kiron Milben Ex; it could be more effective for your situation compared to what you've already tried.
Consider using 70% isopropyl alcohol without diluting it. Apply with a spray bottle or a soft brush to make sure every nook and cranny is covered since spider mites often hide on the underside of leaves. Just remember to keep up with regular applications, about every 3 days for indoor plants, to tackle the new hatchlings since alcohol doesn't kill the eggs. I've had good luck with this method!
Thank you, I’ll try anything at this point; I hope it works!
