hi, was hoping for some advice or clue as to what i keep having to clean off my windowsils!!!

for some reason, everytime i go to clean the bedroom indoor windowsils, (one at front of flat, one at back so no where near each other) there are always dark red dots all over them?? i have no idea what this is, it always cleans off, but always reappears too??

Does anyone ahve any idea what this might be? or how to stop it reappearing??!! i know it's a bit vague, sorry!

Are they tiny red mites?

Used to have these all over the windows/walls in a bungalow i lived in once!

I have always thought these were fly poops !

Yucky!

no, def not insects.. they look like tiny drops of blood or red paint. they are really tiny though.. if it was just my sons room i'd presume he was somehow creating it, but it's my room too??

I get brownish blobs around my windows that I have always assumed were fly poop ! Rather yucky when I think about it.


Edit...oops didn't mean to post twice, computer went all peculiar and I thought it had lost the post!

eeeeeuuuwwwww gross.... i think they are spider poos!!!! just been in with my sons torch, and in the vents at the top of the window frame we each have a spider living!!!!!! disgusting!!!
it never ceases to amaze me how many spiders are in a new build, always presumed you got more in old buildings...

thank you for your help identifying this, i now need to evict all spiders!!!

spiders are our friends, they keep the number of flies down

I think it's from flies too, not spiders. They are probably on the glass too, if you look closely.
You might find it is less of a problem as the weather gets colder and the fly population decreases.
A damp microfibre cloth and a bit of elbow grease seems to get rid of them.
All part of life's rich pageant!
