Clover mites are long-legged, oval-shaped, red-brown predators of alyssum, clover, daffodil, dandelion, lawn grass, ornamental flowers, primrose, sage, shepherd's purse, and strawberry. The arachnid species in question (Bryobia praetiosa) is considered an indoor and outdoor pest. Outdoors, clover mites may leave grass silver-colored and plants stippled while indoors they release a red stain on sunlit surfaces when squashed or threatened.

No. Mites cannot fly in the conventional sense but they are so small the slightest puff of wind can get them airborne. They can also balloon by extending a silk thread into the breeze and taking off. They cannot control where they go but can travel large distances this way.

Big eyed bugs [Geocoris pallens and Geocorcis punctipes], minute pirate bugs [Orius tristicolor], and predatory mites [Phytoseiulus persimilis] eat clover mites [Bryobia praetiosa]. Their use in the clover mite stricken landscape is considered a natural, biological control. Other organic ways of coping with clover mite pests include planting choices and pesticides. Planting choices center on growing what clover mites don't like: arborvitae, chrysanthemum, geranium, petunia, rose, salvia, yew, and zinnia. Pesticides center on the use of horticultural oil against the eggs, and of insecticidal soap against other stages in the clover mite life cycle.

Can planting a clover lawn attract clover mites?

Yes, planting a clover lawn can attract clover mites. The arachnids in question (Bryobia praetiosa Koch) feed upon clovers and grasses. The unwelcome predation will be less devastating or likely when proper light, moisture, nutrient and temperature requirements are observed for clover lawns since clover mites prioritize over-fertilized, over-watered yards.
