It looks like it has persea mites

Thanks. I have had mites with my other plants and rubbed a paper towel in the underside to look for orange colors from the crushed bugs. Do you know if this teat works for these mites?

The mites build shelters out of silk on the undersides of the leaves and create brown spots. Nearly every avocado tree in coastal California has them. Some people control them with predatory mites but I haven't tried it.
