Ha, the wonders of Reddit!
I haven't ever dealt with spider mites on my CPs but there's a palm in my office that's loaded with them.
Neem oil is generally CP safe even if you get it on the soil. In case it does get in the soil, though, I'd recommend mixing the solution using the same water you use to water your plants, just in case.
Monterey LG6140 should be acceptable for your purposes if you mix it according to the instructions on the bottle. You'll want to make sure you get it on the underside of the leaves, too, as the neem has to make contact with the buggers to do its thing. For this, I recommend getting a handheld pump sprayer as it'll put out a nice fine mist.
One thing to note is that neem isn't a one-and-done solution. You'll need to follow up with reapplications every week or two until you notice the problem subside.
