What Are Teeny Tiny Red Spiders Called?

Tiny red spiders that are approximately the size of a pin's head are called clover mites. They are most commonly seen in the spring, but infestations can occur in the fall.

Clover mites live in grass, but they occasionally find their way inside homes. They do not bite, and they cannot harm people or animals. To get rid of them, it is vital to close off their entry points and remove any existing mites.
