Dan,
It sounds like humidity is the key to keeping spider mite numbers down. They
prefer the hot dry weather in order to multiply. Regular misting might help.
If you're growing in a greenhouse & you've got quite a few infected plants,
it might be worthwhile releasing a spider mite predator like P. persimilis.
They'll do a good job of keeping spider mite numbers down.
