Help,Red spider mite.

footache
16 years ago

I have recently noticed three Banana plants I purchased a few months ago to be infected with Red spider mite.Over the week-end I sprayed them with "Safer Insect killing soap" Which seems to be doing a good job.In a few weeks time I was hoping to plant out my new banana plants, they are in plant pots at the moment in my "BANANA JUNGLE" but fear infecting my existing Bananas if the "Safer Insect killing soap" has not completely eliminated the spider mite.Can anyone reccomend another chemical I could use.Would it be wise to ever plant these ones out near the others.Any advise,Tips would be useful.Thanks in advance.
