Another really good preventive measure for all indoor plant pests is to cover the soil with stone, pumice or coarse perlite. Having a circulating air around the leaves is great for keeping them down as well. Put a fan on the plant and it will make it very difficult for them to get a foothold as it's a constant battle for them stay in one place. Obviously you have to watch humidity and wind burn while using a fan, but good air circulation is key to preventing mites.
