Don't be alarmed if you see a bunch of tiny red dots around your home; they could just be clover mites. These tiny arachnids are harmless to humans and property. However, they can leave a mark if you crush them. Their red bodies can spread pigmentation on your furniture, walls, curtains, and floors, which can be difficult to remove if allowed to set. It's essential to remove any closer mite infestation in your home.
A professional exterminator will use several methods to remove a clover mite infestation. They may vacuum up the mites or gently remove them with a wet sponge, which will attract the mites. The exterminator will carefully inspect the nooks and crannies of your home for remaining mites and their eggs, which can be almost impossible to see with the naked eye due to their size. They can also use safe chemicals for indoor use to kill the mites.
Clover mites aren't dangerous to humans or pets. They don't spread any known diseases to humans and feed on plants or sometimes molds. They are simply a nuisance and can cause discoloration to your valuables. They can also cause persistent infestations if allowed to remain in a home, making them a potential long-term nuisance.
Lush, overfertilized lawns that run up alongside your home are ideal breeding grounds for clover mites. They love to feed off grasses and clover, and lawns or ornamental plants that have received too much TLC are a paradise for them. Clover mite populations boom in the spring and early fall when plants also experience tremendous growth.
Homeowners can prevent clover mite infestations by following regular watering and fertilizing schedules. They can also make it harder for clover mites to infiltrate their home by clearing grass and bushes two feet away from their home.
Tips for Preventing Clover Mites
Avoid over-watering mulch, plants and grass.
Keep mulch at least 12 inches from siding and ideally 12-18 inches from your foundation.
Seal gaps around doors, windows, and foundation.
Add a layer of stones around your foundation instead of mulch.

This was our first time to use PestPros. We had another pest service, but they have been unsuccessful in handling the rodents in our basement. The PestPro crew thoroughly inspected inside and outside and set up many bait boxes and traps to determine how the rodents are getting into the basement.

Another call to My Pest Pros to save the day with two in-ground super active Yellowjacket nests. Hal showed up on time with a phone call too. He carefully went about his business eradicating both nests. He also ensured that the chemicals would sprayed carefully so as to not hurt our boxwoods. Very professional and patient in explaining the process. My Pest Pros is the only call we need to make when needed. Really are the Pros!!Neil arrived to take are of hornets and wasps.

Trace was absolutely awesome and a life saver. I'm new to Utah and bought a house near downtown, however I have a tremendous fear of bugs, and saw a few over the past few weeks which prompted me to call in. Trace was so caring, and patient with me, explaining everything very granularly so I'd understand. He was also extremely patient as I had my slight panic attacks just talking about the subject, while not judging me being so dramatic. He did me a solid and put in a light bulb in an area I was afraid to go into. Such a sweetheart and overall went above and beyond the call of duty. I had another service going on and Trace's level of patience was top tier. I'd absolutely recommend Trace and this company; I'm a forever customer! Thanks again Trace!!
