Clover Mites In Kansas City

What is a Clover Mite?

Clover Mites are actually considered true mites, not insects and are close relatives of ticks and spiders. They are tiny, household-invading mites that are red in color with long front legs. To the naked eye they are no more than tiny red bugs and appear no larger than a pinhead. Clover mites primarily feed on clover, grassy lawns, plants and weeds and tend to appear in large numbers in the spring and fall months.

Are they dangerous?

Clover mites are considered nuisance pests because of their ability to invade homes and businesses through cracks and crevices.  Though they cannot bite, are not harmful to humans or pets and will not cause structural damage clover mites may leave red stains on walls, carpets and furniture if they are crushed. 

How do I get rid of Clover Mites?

Clover mites may be difficult to control.  That's why our services include the necessary products and follow up visits for one fee. Our treatment methods consist of the following:

Initial Service - Detailed inspection of the interior and exterior of your home, then a targeted treatment of all areas where activity is present. Each Initial Service includes the application of seven exclusive Pest Guard steps, designed to rid your home of unwanted pests and keep them away.

Follow Up - Quarterly interior/exterior or exterior-only services will be scheduled as part of our annual Integrated Pest Management program. All Schendel Premium Care customers enjoy the benefit of our PestZero Guarantee. If pests return in between visits, Schendel returns for free.

Can I do it myself?

Due to the complexity of treatment and the time required, Clover mites are generally not a pest many people have success in eradicating. Beware when purchasing pesticides and other products online as many are not effective. Pesticides can be harmful to people and pets if they are misused or mixed improperly.

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that Steve, our technician, went above his usual duties on our last service call. I noticed a large mass of one inch catepillers on our drive and showed them to Steve. He thought they were from our trees and took one back to the office for identification. He called me back to tell me they were a yellow band catepiller. Later that same day my neighbor called and told me that her pine trees were being eaten alive with the same catepillers. I looked at the pine tree near my drive and noticed that the tree was stripped of its needles and covered in the catepillers. My neighbor called a tree service, they sprayed the trees and said the trees should survive, but won't look the best for some time. Tell Steve thanks again for his help."
