Help - potential red spider mites infestation?!!!

Does anyone have experience with these pests? We noticed them all over our walls on the outside and window sills :( online a lot of companies suggest they can be impossible to remove yourself as they grow huge in numbers and hide in cracks. I was hoping a spray would do the job but we don't know how long they've been around or the extent of the problem . So far haven't spotted inside. It's making me paranoid about leaving windows open but it's so hot!

They're not red spider mites (which aren't red) and in fact are a predator, and therefore good for the garden..

They're not the same as the "clover mites" that feature in all the pest control companies that come high up in google searches - that's a N American species.
