I hope your super mites stay down under. Sorry you have to deal with such tough critters.

Have you tried rotating things a bit?

Say applying DE + soap, then after a few days a synthetic pesticide, then some Neem, then another synthetic pesticide. Sort of a combined shotgun approach to disrupt their life-cycle with all modes of action at your disposal.

And I would second the suggestion to pay close attention to all non-plant hiding spots.

Best of luck eradicating them.
