Clover Mites in northern Nevada
Clover mites are the tiny red specks that coat south- and west-facing walls and window sills in early spring and again in fall around Reno and Sparks. They feed on lawn grass and clover, and they build up fastest where turf or ground cover runs right to the foundation of a new or recently landscaped home. On warm days they climb the sunny side of the house and crawl in around windows and doors. They're smaller than a pinhead and they don't bite, but crush one and it leaves a red stain on paint, curtains, and carpet.
Why it matters
Clover mites don't bite people or pets and don't damage the structure. The harm is cosmetic: red stains on walls, sills, drapes, and carpet when they're crushed.
