What are small red dot like spiders that are found in large numbers?
Let’s see, if these spiders are around plants, my guess is that they are spider mites. Damage from these little guys can be severe. Leaves turn silver, as the chlorophyll disappears, or turn yellow as they die. Leaves fall on the floor for no apperant reason. A slight red dust can be found on the underside of leaves. I have never dealt with this problem, I bet a nusery worker would know how to get rid of them. Rinsing your plants every now and then can detour many pests and diseases.
