You need agri-grade mineral oil: it's commonly sold to kill scale insects. Mix it according to instructions with water and simply spray on the plant. That will take care of any mite egg you may have and doubles as a sure-fire method against scale insects.
Bayer used to sell premixed mineral oil in green spray bottles: just shake and spray. But I haven't seen it sold in a while...
