House bugs
We were recently invaded by Clover Mytes...very small and red...I found them in my master bath in the window sill...which I thought was weird b/c that window does not open.
Now they are in my 1/2 bath (which has no window) I read that they appear suddenly and leave suddenly as well, but still, I've been cleaning my house like a fiend ever since I've seen them...I really hope they are gone ASAP...i feel so gross and they make me feel like I keep a dirty home!
How do you deal with unwelcome insects in the house? Do you clean like crazy till they go away? Spray?

Re: House bugs
This is what they look like...very small...if there weren't so many I would have never noticed them...apparently they are harmless to humans and pets, just a nuisance!

Are they those things where they're so small they just look like moving red dots? I remember as a kid smearing them on the concrete porch... Odd child, I know.
Anyway, this site gave me some good ideas for our house bug issue - pill bugs.
Here's their write up on clover mites

Here's another one I found

Re: House bugs
do you know where they are coming in from?
I would spray the perimeter of your house (outside) and all the window jambs.

we did find them outside the house as well...and they are soooo small so of course they will get in, b/c they crawl between the siding....but I was reading that they like they are attracted to sunlight, hence hanging out on the window in the master bath...but they need to go away!
I'm just soooo tired of cleaning everyday, my bathrooms reak of cleaning products, lol

LOL! I thought the same thing. They didnt bother me when I was little b/c they were so tiny. Although the pic is either a really HUGE one or just a HUGE enlargement.
