[CH] Pesky Pests

I am soooo miserable :-(
My dear little chile plants (which I have nurtured from seed) have succumbed 
to spider mite (which I unwillingly imported on a courgette (zucchini) plant 
from the garden centre) - they are looking really sorry for themselves, 
floppy speckeldy leaves etc. I have sprayed them with insecticide (sorry all 
you organics out there, but that's all I had which would nobble the 
critters), and just wondered if there is anything I can do to perk them up a 
bit. They are only up to their 4th pair of leaves at the moment. Would 
putting them outside be any good, or should I keep them humid? Or have they 
had it?
