What's the deal with the little red spiders / mites all around?
I see little red spiders or mites everywhere, even quite a few in my home. Does anyone know what these are? More importantly, any thoughts to share on how to control them once they're in your home?



Thanks in advance for your response.



Cheers,

James

by 'little red spiders', do you mean the tiny acarian kind? completely harmless (to you and me, i mean). never seen them inside, though. they normally reside on any kind of terrace...

Even 5 floors up!!!!I think they got an inside tip from the ants to come and join them on the terrace,and enjoy the view!!!!:w00t:

Anyone got any fool proof way to get rid of ants(without inhaling toxic fumes with sparys)?

For ants:Mix water and white vinegar together in a spray bottle, spray it around areas you see the insects, I was told they hate the smell (or whatever) of vinegar. It also works with lemon juice.

They will also not cross a line made of salt

Hi there,



Mites are a little dangerous depending which and where they come from, specially if they come from doves in the terrace since they can transmit diseases.

Take care!

Maybe this helps:

1. no more funny mushroom licking, try toads instead

2. If toads making you feel sick then try a cigarette with the funny green stuff inside

3. in case you don't smoke go back to the mushrooms and accept and embrace your new little friends

:D:D:D

Agree with Whovian also.

Once used this with success regarding a nest of wasps that were taking residence in my shutter box, quite a while ago. They were very reasonable and left too.
