Clover Mites #745551

Asked April 21, 2021, 4:40 PM EDT

I recently just bought a home built in 1905. I have noticed that there are clover mites that are taking up in some of the downstairs windows. There is a concrete path that separates the house from the yard, I am wondering if the mites could be in the walls? How do I treat these mites and get them to go away for good?

Clover mites eat drought stressed grass. I would caulk around openings. Here is our factsheet.  Make sure to use the right product or you can make the issue worse.  Always read and follow the chemical label, it's the law.
