What Are Clover Mites?

Those tiny red dots moving across your windowsills are not insects — they are actually related to spiders and ticks.

Tiny Red Arachnids

Clover mites are pinhead-sized, reddish-brown arachnids. They feed on grass, clover, and lawn plants. They have unusually long front legs that are often mistaken for antennae.

Seasonal Invaders

They invade homes in massive numbers during spring and fall when outdoor temperatures shift. They are attracted to the warm, sunny sides of buildings and squeeze through tiny gaps.

Staining Pests

When crushed, clover mites leave a distinctive red stain that can permanently mark curtains, walls, clothing, and furniture. Never wipe or squish them — vacuum instead.

Signs of a Clover Mite Invasion

These signs mean clover mites are already inside — or about to be.

Red Dots on Windows

Tiny reddish-brown dots crawling across windowsills, especially on the south and west sides of your home.

Red Streaks on Surfaces

Red or rusty stains on walls, curtains, bedding, or furniture where mites have been accidentally crushed.

Exterior Wall Swarms

Thousands of tiny red mites swarming on your home's sunny exterior walls, foundation, and around window frames.

Spring/Fall Timing

Problems appearing specifically in March-May or September-November when temperature swings trigger migration indoors.

Mites Near Foundation

Dense populations of tiny red dots visible on grass, mulch, and soil right against your foundation walls.

Lush Lawn Near House

Well-fertilized, thick grass growing right up to your foundation provides the food source that sustains large clover mite populations.

Clover Mites in Michigan Homes

Michigan's dramatic seasonal temperature swings make clover mite invasions especially common. When spring temperatures rise rapidly in March and April, clover mites emerge in massive numbers from the soil and head for the warm sides of buildings. The same thing happens in reverse during fall when cooling temperatures drive them indoors. Michigan's lush, well-maintained lawns provide the perfect food source — homes with thick grass growing right up to the foundation are the most vulnerable. The Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Lansing areas see heavy clover mite activity every year.

Ann Arbor Area

Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Chelsea, Dexter, and surrounding communities

Jackson Area

Jackson, Brooklyn, Manchester, Grass Lake, and surrounding communities

Lansing Area

Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Holt, and surrounding communities

Frequently Asked Questions About Clover Mite Control

What are clover mites?

Clover mites are pinhead-sized reddish-brown arachnids that feed on grass and clover. They don't bite or carry diseases, but they invade homes in massive numbers and leave red stains when crushed.

Why do clover mites leave red stains?

The red color is their body pigment, not blood. When crushed, it stains surfaces permanently. Never wipe or squish them on curtains, walls, or furniture — vacuum them instead.

Why are clover mites invading my house?

They invade during spring and fall temperature changes, attracted to warm, sunny sides of buildings. Homes with lush lawns growing right against the foundation are most vulnerable.

Are clover mites harmful to my family or pets?

No. They don't bite or transmit diseases. They are purely a nuisance, but they invade by the thousands and their red stains can damage curtains, clothing, walls, and furniture.

How do I prevent clover mites from coming back?

Create a plant-free gravel or mulch border (18-24 inches) around your foundation. Seal cracks around windows and doors. Our professional perimeter treatment creates a chemical barrier that prevents them from reaching your home.
