Hi,

I do not have plants in my home but i have these pest in my home.

2 type of insects crawling on my wall, 1 is red colored and spider looking and the other lookins like a tiny grain of rice and is brown in color.

i think they are red spider mite and clover mites

I looked up the internet and it always say it feeds on plant but i do not have any plants in my house.

How can i get rid of them?

Andy

Hi,

The photo above is how it will actually look like on the wall, 2 dots

Close up of the spider thingy... the other brown dot is way too tiny for me to take a photo.

They are definitely not bed bugs as i have seen them in my ex-neighbours house and in camp plus we are not affected.

I clean my house thoroughly every week and it still happens... very low morale....

Thanks for the help in advance.

Cheers,

Andy

Try searching the forums for springtails and booklice - these are apparently common problems found in most new HDB flats. Probably HDB not testing the plastering so the eggs are being carried everywhere.

I have experience with booklice and I'm rarely seeing them now after intensive spraying of Bio-X Lullaby. Search along the skirtings, corners, under objects and near objects with starch/glue (bookshelves etc) and toilets - these are where they usually congregate.
