I've had luck killing spider mites with insecticidal soap. It doesn't smell as good as suave though...lol... make sure after you spray it, in a few days rinse your plants off with a good spray of water to kill any dead spider mites clinging to the plants. Otherwise you'll see them in a few weeks and think you have new ones again and try to kill the same ones again.
