Little Red Spiders indoors

    Was doing a bit of painting yesterday and over the Bay window of the sitting room (on the inside) we found about 5/6 little red spiders.

    Anyone got any idea what they are and whether they are anything to worry about?

    TIA

    They are little red spiders that typically hang around on white walls when you are painting them on sunny days. They don't do any harm at all.

    they're known as 'blood suckers'....can't believe you have never seen them before. Did you not squish them when you were a kid?

    I have noticed lots of them on the outside of my sills since last week. dont think they are any harm but would like to know how to get rid of them too.

    Friend says they live in the blocks and surface in the summer (might be a lie)
