Spidermites - Should I buy a 3rd insecticide?

Sprayed twice with Abamectic mixed with summer oil, then twice with Fenbutatin only. After each spraying I waited a week, rinced the crapemyrtles well with strong upwards jets of water, let them dry out and sprayed again.

There's still some filaments on the trees, but nothing like the fuzzy fur of a few weeks ago.

Should I buy a 3rd insecticide? Should I respray with Abamectin?

The trees are leafing out nicely. Rhapsody in Pink has quite a lot of warped sick looking leaves, but the others (Dynamite, Cordon Bleu, Pink Velour) have healthy looking leaves.

Will greatly appreciate your advice.

Rhizo and Nik the Greek - thanks again for your good advice of a coupel of weeks ago! I thought my trees were goners.
