Sounds like spidermites but hard to tell. Do you see any very small webb ? If so it's mites and you must brake the life cycle. A pyrithium bomb once a week for 3 to 4 weeks. If you want to wait small spots start to show on the leaves.

probably red-velvet-mite. very common in the spring and fall especially near woodlands. we have them here in portland -- I'm near a mile-square wooded park. I usually don't get them indoors. I doubt they will do much harm.
use the hotshot no-pest strips, hang 1 or 2 around your room.
alternatively you could purchase Safer Garden Insect Spray, it should have Pyrithrium in it, a natural pesticide that will kill mites.
spray the plant underleaves. don't soak the plant. spray during night cycle so you don't burn the plant.
you may get browning leaves from using the pesticide.
