Best Answer

An indoor/outdoor plan of attack controls clover mites. Outdoors, by the beginning of May, the soil needs to be bare from the foundation walls out five feet. During the first week of May, pesticides then are applied onto the soil and the foundation walls. The applications are one foot out from the foundation walls, and over the wall surface from the ground up two feet. A particularly effective pesticide of low toxicity is permethrin.

Indoors, entry points such as cracks, crevices and fissures need to be identified and sealed. Then aerosol sprays may be used. The sprays need to be directed at the entry points, regardless of whether they're sealed or unsealed. Any clover mites on the floor need to be vacuumed, and the bag disposed of. This way of scooping up specimens minimizes the red smears and stains that their stressed body parts leave.

How long do clover mites live indoors?

A week to several months is the length of time that clover mites live indoors. The range occurs because of clover mite life cycles and natural histories and because of environmental conditions, such as occupant hostility or tolerance, predatory presences, and temperature levels. The arachnids in question (Bryobia praetiosa) pass through each of five stages, from eggs through larvae and two nymphal phases to adulthood, within a month for clover mites hatched between spring and fall.
