It's been around since December. I've tried weekly sprays of pyretriner, yellow sticky traps, Lavender/Peppermint oil vapor mixes, and recently full costings of diatomaceous earth as well.

None of it has worked at eliminating them...

I've dealt with them in the past by carrying the plant into a tiny room and spraying the air with raid (not directly onto the plant) This needs to be repeated few times every 3 days or so to kill the entire population. Predatory mites should work as well but I've personally not had success with them
