Spider mites suck too! LOL....
but I want to hear more about spinosad. Sounds good, too. I've been using botanigard for whiteflies and it seems to work good, but it's a form of bt not spinosad.
About the only affordable thing I've found that works relatively well for spider mites is the insecticidal soap but it might just be the greasiness of it that actually kills them, its pretty greasy stuff.
I like the idea of something that would torture them a little!
