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

I think these might be clover mites. More nuisance than serious pest.
Vacuum them up or hit them with soap spray.

Spider mites are just barely large enough to see without a magnifying
glass. Clover mites are small, but certainly big enough to easily see.
