If you can spray under the leaves with water such as on cucumbers as they don't like wet on them, also try a few leaves by also spraying soapy water as well. For a starter cut off as many damaged leaves and remove from where the plants are growing. You can get biological control as well where a very small wasp lays an egg in the spider mites egg and this will help to keep them under control as well.
I have given my greenhouse a good wash with a strong dose of jays in the spring to see if that helps to kill them while they are hibernating in the winter.
