Default [IBC] spider mites strike again

Spider mites have gotten my best tree, a nice shohin sized juniper. I'm
going to hold onto it for awhile, but I'm not holding out much hope.
Everything is becoming crispy and there's no new growth.

This is the second time this has happened to me, at the same time of
year. Several years ago I lost a juniper the same way, although at the
time I didn't know it was spider mites. Is it a good idea to treat the
tree before I put it into winter storage? I'm wondering if the mites
winter over in the tree?
