If you are worried about the webs on your plants (smoking them) you could try putting tall stakes in the ground surrounding the plants. Maybe they will attach their webs to those, they like stationary objects to protect from wind.
If you get lucky you will have spider centuries surrounding your plants protecting them, but not actually attached to them.
BTW: Spider mites are tiny little fuckers that live on the underside of leaves sucking the juice out of them, and making millions of babies to do the same. Their presence is denoted by tiny white/yellow spots speckling the leaves, and curling under.
