Clover Mites

WHAT ARE CLOVER MITES?

Clover mites are a type of nuisance pest that are related to ticks and spiders. As their name suggests clover mites feed on the juices of clover, grass, and other lawn plants. Clover mites are very tiny, about the size of a pin head (.75mm), their body is oval in shape, and they have 8 legs. The front two legs are much longer than the other 6 legs, and are sometimes confused with being antennae.

WHY DO I HAVE THEM?

Clover mites overwinter as adults or eggs; when the weather warms in the early spring they emerge from their overwinter spots and climb up the sides homes and other buildings in large numbers. They accidentally enter into homes through small cracks in the foundation or exterior walls, and through gaps around windows and doors. While they can become quite a nuisance, they are not dangerous, but can cause items to become damaged within the home. When clover mites are squished or crushed they leave a red mark behind that can stain walls, floors, furniture, and clothing.

CAN I DO IT MYSELF?

Do-It-Yourself pest control is never recommended. DIY Chemicals used to control pests are mostly ineffective, and do nothing to solve the root of the clover mite problem, which is to address how they are getting inside of your home. Also, if not properly mixed or placed DIY chemicals are a threat to you, your family, pets, and plants. The safest way to control a clover mite infestation is with the help of a trained professional.

HOW CAN I PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE?

Preventing clover mites is difficult and frustrating because they are so tiny and can fit themselves through very small spaces to get into your home. Maintaining a barrier of 6-24 inches between your home and lawn can help to limit the numbers that invade your home. Also, making sure to fill in any cracks or crevices in the foundation or exterior walls of your home can help; along with caulking spaces around exterior doors and windows.

The best way to prevent and control clover mites is by having a year-round pest control service plan in place.
