Just wondering what you did to cure the problem that you had with the red bugs? I think that I have the same problem in my house.

: : : Could they be thrips? They're more of an tan/orange color.. I found some in my plants as I was watering them.
: : : Thanks in advance

: : : : We have red bugs outside of our house and now they're coming in. We sprayed and they were gone fopr awhile... now they're back. We don't think they're clover mites, because they don't have the long front legs and they don't stain when you kill them. These fly, but they're very tiny. We see them on our computer monitors and around the windows. Does anyone know what they are and how do we get rid of them??
: I don't know if thripes but in Florida we call them "no see ums". They are VERY small and red/orange in color. They do bite and make a small red area that will itch a short period of time ,unlike the red- bug that itches for days. I'm not sure what to do about them ,maybe you can get more info. online.
