I have spiter mite problems indoors every year. Some plants are worse than others and Aphids have become a bigger problem than the spider mites. But this year I have really tried to leave my plants outside in a lot of cold. Some of my plants have seen freezing temperatures outdoors which should defintitely slow the life cycle of the spider mites. With regular spraying of things like neem oil, Im hoping that they wont even have a chance to reproduce and cause trouble.
Good luck! They are bad pests!
