4Clucks-minusOne Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I don't think they fly. Could they be tiny midges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 They're just flies. Red mite looks like small red spider mites. They tend to cluster in dark areas of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yes they sound like just tiny flies. Red mite are very dark blood coloured in clusters. You could put a piece of kitchen roll in the tray with a few dots of citronella oil on it, that will help with the flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
