Clover Mite Control in Your Home

Clover mites are tiny – about the size of a pinhead – and are reddish brown. They differ from many pests in that they prefer cooler weather. Clover mite activity increases as temperatures start to drop, during which time they pay homage to their name by feasting on clovers, over-fertilized grass, and many other plants. In fact, clover mites eat more than 200 different plant species, including some flowers. Their activity peaks in the cooler, early spring months when they can become the greatest nuisance to homeowners, business owners, and landscapers – so be prepared to see clover mites en masse during that time of year.
