Length is smaller than a pinhead. Colour is brown or red. The front pair of legs are longer than the other three pairs, projecting forward like antennae. The Clover Mite is a plant-feeding mite that sucks sap from clover as well as from ornamentals, fruit trees, and lawn grasses. They enter houses in spring and early summer due to population pressures and unfavourable feeding conditions. In late summer and fall, clover mites seek shelter in houses to avoid cold weather. Clover mites can reappear in houses as early as February and March since they overwinter as adults in walls or near foundations.
They crawl under loose bark, cracks in foundations, and around window frames to moult and lay eggs. They continue to hatch and feed until cold weather. Clover mites cause no structural damage to houses, nor do they injure humans, pets, or houseplants. When crushed, clover mites, however, leave a red stain that can damage wallpaper, bedding, and clothing.
