Default what to do about mites in a home environment?

In still air like in a house take a white sheet of paper and place
under the suspect leaf. Tap the leaf sharply. Carefully place the sheet
on a table, with a pen circle all the black dots you can see. Wait five
minutes, or ten. The mites will crawl out of the little circles. A
hammer is a very satisfying way to kill them but a soap/oil solution
also works.
