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.................

AKKK! No!

She would have never noticed them on the patio floor if they were spider
mites. She has something bigger. Spraying them when they are not even on
her plants would be foolish. They might even be predatory mites. People
pay good money for those!
