They keep appearing in the window seal, in the tub and the bathroom sink no matter how many times I rinse them down the drain. It's like they're attracted to water. I only see them in my bathroom. PLEASE HELP... WHAT ARE THEY AND HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM?

This time of year in North America there are two possibilities. Clover mites leave a large red or orange stain when crushed. Some spider mites look red, too.

Fortunately, control measures for both are very similar. They are likely coming in around the window. The frame may be loose in the wall or the window may not seal tightly enough to keep them out. Adding weatherstripping to the window sash and caulking the frame will keep most if not all of them out.
