My experience was like cookiecow's. A new humidifier got things under control. For years I would spray and spritz and barely survive the winter (with taro, yes they love it). Then we put a new humidifier into the heating system. (The air is much better for people, too.) The spider mites all but dissappeared. They really don't seem to like air with a reasonable amount of moisture. In the short / el cheapo run you might try things like rice cookers, coffee pots, crockpots, whatever you have around that boils water slowly. Maybe hanging up wet towels. Good luck.
