Not much you can do while drying.

What kind are they ? Red-spidermites or the dreaded two-spotted-spidermites ?

If they are red ones I would bomb the place a few times with doctor dooms or any pyrithrum even the timed release.

If they are two-spotted mites then I would get Azamax or I think Azatrol. They are concentrates of neem oil and mix well with water. This is the only thing I can find to fight the two-spotted bastered from Hell.
