that sucks mate, sorry for your luck.

i have never had spider mites outside only indoors. i take my plants outside if i get spider mites indoors and they are usually gone in a week, something eats them ouside.

if late in flower i also use soap and water (maybe some hot peppers - be careful), spray under leafs big time, the mites exoskeleton can't handle the soap and it safe on flower.

i also like others i have said bug bomb tents and room (gases get into cracks, fan cases, heater case, etc..) after and i also do a residue spray in all corners, wall edges and etc. like the residue spray because it last a month and kills eggs.

GOOD LUCKY mate.

...spider mites are capable of "diapause"...

At this point i'd ask this simple question: does ozone "bombing" or else kill every single spider mite including their yet-to-hatch eggs??

Cannacure looks like summink you could use right to chop
I've used that once in late flower when I noticed the fuckers last year. Whilst it nearly took the whole bottle and number of sprays to slow them down it didn't fully kill them. Though it is an option to be able to finish off your plants. Of course try and remove as much leaves as possible and keep an eye for webbs.

I suppose it depends how bad spidermite infestation is a\s to whether they will do jobby properly, sort of its bad for every mite wiped out by ninja-bugs 100 spidermite will have hatched their eggs.
