Re: [OGD] flat mites
Cody, Either Mavrik or Avid should work well on flat mites, Ultra fine oil will also work if you know it's safe on your genera.

I may be wrong, but these are minute, reddish coloured mites, barely visible unless under at least a hand lens? I have a few orchids that are HEAVILY infested with them, seems like it's mostly the oncidiums and their hybrids. Please share your info with me either on the digest or by private email. I appreciate ANY advice on these little buggers!

[OGD] Flat mites
I've had good results with neem oil for controlling mites on Myrmecodia tuberosa (Rubiaceae) and Juanulloa mexicana (Solanaceae). I haven't used it on many orchids, but I haven't noticed any toxicity on those that I have tested.
