CLOVER MITES 101

 They are known to reproduce in the spring and fall, when temperatures are suitable for their breeding and survival. Their populations grow rapidly, as females lay up to 70 eggs, each of which matures within 30 days. Eggs can be found in small crevices in concrete and wooden structures, as well as within walls, under loose bark and in other protected locations. 

- Although clover mites are not a danger to human health and do not destroy furniture, they are considered indoor pests. Inside, these mites leave reddish stains on surfaces they touch. Outside, clover mite populations are extremely destructive, as they feed on plants, flowers and grass. Biting mites are possible but highly unlikely.
