I hate spider mites!!!

Been having spider mite issues for a while now- I have a small herb & veggies patio garden and they were infesting a few of my basil plants, then some green beans & cucumber plants, and now i found them on my sage plants, possibly my rosemary too but its harder to see on that plant. Hard to believe a bug so tiny can damage plants so much! They are the ones that look like little reddish brown specs.

Anyways- was wondering if anyone has had success getting rid of these things with an easy, affordable and organic method? I use the herbs to cook with so I'm hesitant to spray anything on them- so far what I've been doing is to remove either the infected foliage or all the foliage and let the plant grow back. It works for a while and sometimes the plant doesn't get them again after that, but they will turn up on another plant in my garden.

Please and thanks for any advice!
