Pests We Treat - What Are Clover Mites?

Clover mites are tiny arachnids (about 1/30 of an inch in length) that are reddish-brown in color and are oval shaped. Their front pair of legs protrude from their heads and are much longer than the other legs. These pests emerge in early spring, thus becoming a nuisance when homeowners encounter them while being outside. They feed on over 200 different species of plants. They are primarily found in an area that has the highest exposure to the sun.
