Minuscule pests (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mites

(Other definitions for mites that I've seen before include "Widows' contributions?" , "Minute arachnids that infest animals and stored foods" , "Times (anag.)" , "Small arachnids" , "little children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
