Gardening Struggles

I researched online and it seems like my squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, and watermelon are all coated with Two Spotted Spider Mites!  I started to use Red Pepper Flakes two days ago on my squash, but now it’s spread to the other plants I’ve just mentioned. I don’t know if it’s been long enough for the red pepper to be absorbed in the leaves, but with the massive infestation, I think that it might be time to try Thuricide.  Any other suggestions?
