They are called Spider Mites, they look like little tiny red specks, usually under the leaf. You should spray the entire plant with a pretty strong jet of water from a sprayer, be sure to hit under the leaves, and stems.  If they still persist, then put a spoon or two of Dawn dishwashing soap into a one quart sprayer and coat the entire plant with the solution.  The Dish soap smothers the spider mites.
