Question
We have just visible white mites i think, living in our clothes.We think they came in from the garage we had some clothes in storage there.They do bite and leave just a couple of red dots anywhere on the body.They are driving me mad not knowing what thay are.The closest thing i have found is spidermites but they wouldn't live in my clothes would they ?We have had them a few months now.I have 3 on some sticky tape,they squash very easily.

Answer
Rebecca,

The best thing to do is have them identified then you'll know where they came from, and what to do. If you have some on tape contact your local public health office or university that has an insect identification service. There will be someone there that can examine the sample under a microscope.

Spider mites don't do this - they feed on plants.
