70% alcohol works great as a spray. It kills them but not the eggs, so you need to spray every few days for several weeks. Here isopropyl alcohol 70% is readily available. I have read not so in Europe, but ethyl alcohol is available?

Spider mites are native to Eurasia, so you will always have them.

Isopropyl it's not common around here while ethyl 96% (in volume) you can buy in any drugstore or pharmacy.

I've damaged some leaves in past applications so I must reduce the concentration, again in volume, from 5% to something like half. It may not kill so many but will weaken the survivors.

Yes, that's something we must know hot to live with.

Dilute the 96% to about 70%. That should work without damaging the leaves. It's close to 100% so you could put 700ml in a spray bottle and fill with water to 1000ml to get just under 70%.

When I was desperate for an invasion of spider mites, I discovered a miticide that is used to combat mites in the field of apiculture. The active substance is Amitraz and here you have the site where you can get it.
2ML*10 Ampoules Bee Amitraz Solution Medicine Bees Varroa Mite Killer Miticide Beekeeping Medicines for Beekeeper -in Varroa Mite Control from Home & Garden on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Here's some information
Amitraz
