Those tiny red spiders you’re spotting are likely clover mites, an insect that shows up most often in spring and fall. They’re not dangerous to people or pets, but they can show up in large numbers and quickly become a nuisance, especially around windows, walls, and doors.
To get rid of tiny red spider mites in the house, start by sealing small cracks and gaps where they can get in. Vacuuming up the mites and wiping down surfaces helps, but avoid crushing them as doing so can leave reddish stains.
While DIY cleanup may cut down on the number of little red spiders you see, it usually doesn’t stop them from coming back. Because these small red spiders are seasonal, keeping them out often requires a professional approach.
