Red Spider Mites

Question

I seem to have a recurring infestation of red spider mites. They seem to be the most noticable and infested on my fieldstone, my Windsor stones, and my fieldstone waterfall. I sprayed with Spectracide to no avail and followed with Ortho 150 and as soon as it dried the mites were still everywhere and seemed unaffected by the poison. I need a spray type of solution because of the volume of fieldstone and Windsor stones in my yard affected. Any ideas?
