Below are numerous links with studies and possible treatment options for arthropods. Not all listed plant studies will work on every type of arthropod, but I'm posting this because I think if people experiment they might find something that can work for them. Nothing is out of the realm of possibilities.

Possible Treatments

Eco-friendly products - I have no idea if they work or not. I came upon the below which confirms Smuse's findings with mites in cheese:

"Some are associated with stored foods, such as grain, cheese, and flour mites."

Chamomile Extract and EO on ticks & mites (see full publication)
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1963437

"Recently, Macchioni et al. (2004) showed the antagonistic activity of chamomile (Matricaria chamomile) flowers’ extract against mite Psoroptes caniculi. In the present study, we examined the acaricidal potential of the extract obtained from the flowers of chamomile (M. chamomile) against the females of Rhipicephalus annulatus to elucidate its ability as a cattle fever tick biocontrol agent."

Chamomile Mite Abstract
http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/mve/2004/00000018/00000002/art00016...

"Arcaricidal properties of decoctions, infusions and macerates of dried flower heads of camomile, Matricaria chamomilla L. (Asterales: Asteraceae) were tested in vitro against the mite Psoroptes cuniculi Delafond (Parasitiformes: Psoroptidae). This mite species is responsible for otoacariasis in domestic animals. Mites were exposed to the extracts for 24, 48 or 72 h. All the extracts tested showed highly significant acaricidal activity when compared with controls. Among them, a decoction of 10% was the only formulation which gave 100% activity at all the three observations times."
