Distress!!!

      There are many (100's?) tiny (<1mm) spiders crawling all over
my houseplants.  Whenever I apply a chemical spray, the majority
die on the plant that I spray it on, but others soon grow and
migrate to replace their dead comrades.  Am I witnessing abiogenesis?
The spiders either eat, suck, and/or poison the leaves.  After a
while, the leaves become spotted, turn dry, and eventually die.
The spiders are brownish.

      Please recommend a solution (organic, chemical, etc.) that
is safe for indoors.  Help me stop this epidemic of epic
proportions!
