i know little about figs, but for spidermites and other pests i immerse the entire plant in room temp soapy water. i use plain dish soap and i find it effective.

Here's a photo if that helps:

Red mites are the adult form of chiggers unless I am mistaken.

Remove any leaves that crinkle and the figs, sorry. Do not water much, for whatever reason your tree is unable to take up water from the roots so the pot will stay wet a long time and be at risk of rot.

Thanks for the tips Hoosierbanana. If they were chiggers then I think we'll be ok because they don't survive here in Wyoming.

I will remove crinkled leaves and figs. Hopefully the plant will make it!
