Fungicide won't work on spider mites because they are insects, not fungus.

Use a soap spray to thoroughly cover all leaf and stem surfaces until they are dripping wet. If you miss even a few of these nearly invisible critters, they will reproduce and come back to haunt you. Thoroughness is the key.

Good luck and let me know if you need further assistance.

Do you know what kind of plant you are having the problem on? and do you know for sure they are spider mites?
