Mite webs?

My Boba Bean has webs. What is this? Mites? And how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance ☺️
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

Hi! Yes they look like spider mites. There are lots of things you can do - neem oil, hydrogen peroxide, cinnamon, put the entire pot and plant in a β€œbath” to drown them. I’ll give you the hashtag here so you can click on it and look for more too #spidermites #spidermite #PestControl
Thanks so much!
First, BREATHE. You've got this!

Dunk the plant in water. Submerge it. Spiders drown in water🀭.

Spray everything down with alcohol (no more than 70%), then wipe down with alcohol, wiping under sides of leaves and stems. Wipe off the pot as well.

Then spray with your pest spray. I use Natria as its gentle.

Quarantine and inspect all plants. I'd give everything a spray with Natria just to be safe. Spray and inspect for a few weeks to make sure they're all gone.

If you use Neem oil, keep out of light until everything is dry, otherwise you'll burn your plant.
Spiders, that happens when the plants are close to walls or windows
Fixed it thanks everyone!
