I know spider mites are there, there's been a real bad infestation, I can see them running on the plants. I used mineral oil and most are gone but not completely- I now have a specific product that kills adults larvae and eggs. I asked for rust because I was confused. My thought now is to use spider mites insecticide and for not using too much chemicals I read about some natural method against fungus, so I plan to boil some garlic in water and use the solution around the plants, it may help to kill spores in the ground and it's not harmful for plants. what do you think?

I've never heard of using garlic as a drench to fight daylily rust. I would be more concerned about rust on plants than with spores on the ground.
Using a teaspoon or two of dishwashing liquid in a gallon of water to spray leaves has to be more effective than using a garlic solution as a soil drench.
