Clover mites

Does anyone have these in their home? They can invade at such rapid pace and by the hundreds. They come in thorugh window sills, doors, and cracks in masonry. They are very small reddish-brown in colour. When you crush them with your finger they leave a red mark.They thrive on well fertilized lawns and can be airborne. Most people don't see these in their homes so they go unnoticed.

Not here, I have a variety of other creepy crawlers but not those...thank the heavens...I think I'd have to move out if my house got invaded :(

Although I think somehow I managed to bring back Maple Bugs from a visit to Alberta and I know they can get inside but haven't yet.
