No need for the chemicals. Orange oil (such as Orange TKO) diluted with
water kills insects on contact, and it smells good too.

Could anyone help please. I have discovered on my patio floor and
doors hundreds and hundreds of tiny red spider like creatures. I'm not
sure if they are with eight legs or 6 with 2 antenna. I'm not an
accomplished gardener and have a hydrangea in a pot by the door that
has been damaged I've looked but there doesn't seem to be any of these
on the leaves or flowers, just onthe walls and windows. Can anyone help
and how do I get rid of them.
Thankyou

Red spider mite!
Get the hence to the home store and pick up some pyretherine spray.
It will kill them right away and hopefully get the infestation cleared
up.

Pyrethrine cat and dog flea spray is reasonably safe for humans and pets
and biodegrades fairly quickly.

It's what I use to control flies in my aviary also.
