We just moved into a new house and I have noticed little red ant like bugs all throughout my dirty clothes! I'm not sure what they are but they are only in my clothes. Im not sure if they, but they are very very tiny. Does anybody know what they could be?
Sorry...small mistake! Im not sure if they bite!

I think you are so sweet, they try to follow you.

If they are a pale red...more of a reddish tint they may be Pharoah ants attracted to the sweat on the clothes. Combat baits work well against them...they (if they are pharoah ants) are not sugar feeding ants so baits like Terro will not work for them. Avoid spraying what you see for they colony will break up into several new colonies making the problem worse.
