Clover Mites

Clover mites are plant feeders that are sensitive to temperature and seek out warm, dry places indoors when temperatures drop outside. Inside the home, they will commonly reside in window sills or in sunny areas. Indoor infestations are not a concern with clover mites because they do not reproduce indoors and typically die within a few days due to dehydration. Sometimes when we see pests, the immediate reaction is to squish them. However, avoid crushing clover mites because when they are crushed they leave a rusty or blood-colored stain behind that can ruin furniture and linens.

During the winter, clover mites stay dormant in cracks, crevices, or under plant material. In the spring when the temperature rises again the eggs hatch and this is when clover mites are most active and become a nuisance.

Clover mites vs chiggers

Clover mites and chiggers are both tiny red bugs that are often mistaken for one another. If you are concerned about little red bugs around your house or lawn it is likely that you are dealing with clover mites. Learn about the differences:

	Clover Mites	Chiggers
Identification	Clover mite bodies are typically 1/30 of an inch. They range from a reddish-greenish color to bright red and they have 8 legs, the front 2 of which are longer than the others and commonly mistaken for antennae. They also have feather-like plates around the abdomen.	Chiggers are so small that for most people they are impossible to see with the naked eye. An adult chigger is typically about 1/60 of an inch. They have eight legs and a cluster of them may be visible to the naked eye.
Bites	Clover mites do not bite.	Chigger bites cause severe itching. Bites occur when larvae move from your clothing to your skin to feed. Their saliva breaks down the skin resulting in welts that look like small blisters or hives. Wash the area with warm soap and water to remove any chiggers that may still remain. Typically, the itching persists for 1-2 days and the spot may take up to 2 weeks to heal. Bites are more of a nuisance than a concern because chiggers do not carry disease.
Habitat	As their name indicates, clover mites feed on clover and grass. Clover mites thrive in well-fertilized lawns. They congregate in sunny areas and are commonly seen on concrete walls and benches.	Chiggers thrive in brushy, grassy, or weedy areas that retain moisture. Chiggers are often found in the same environments as ticks and other pests and can be deterred by DEET spray.

How to get rid of clover mites

Similar to other mites, clover mites can be difficult to exterminate due to their quick life cycle. Clover mites are parthenogenetic, which is a form of asexual reproduction where eggs develop into embryos without fertilization from sperm, meaning their populations are entirely composed of females. One female spider mite typically lays around 70 eggs, resulting in large populations when left unchecked.

These pests can be best controlled with a pest control spray around the exterior and the interior of the home. One way to prevent clover mites from entering your home is by keeping soil that is 18-24” around the house clean of grass, weeds, or leaves. There are also plants that are a natural deterrent to clover mites such as, geranium, zinnia, marigold, rose, and chrysanthemum.

If you find a group of clover mites inside your home, the best method to remove them is to carefully vacuum the pests without crushing them and risking stains.
