What is most effective for spider mites on the Impatience plant?

Begin with an attack with the kitchen sink sprayer, or a spray nozzle on
the outside hose. If they come back, put 2-3 drops of dish soap in a quart
of water and soak the plant completely with it. Always use poison as your
last resort. Always.

Especially on spider mites. There have natural predators that poison
sprays kill. Most spider mite problems are caused by spraying.

If the mites are indoors you have some different options. Read this:
