Clover Mites in southern Utah
Clover mites are the tiny red specks that cover sunny walls and window sills, and they like cool weather, so in St. George they show up from late fall through early spring and disappear once the heat arrives. They feed on lawn grass, clover, and ground cover, and they build up fastest where turf runs right up to the foundation of a home. On mild, sunny days they climb the warm side of the house and crawl in around windows and doors. They're smaller than a pinhead and 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 house. The harm is cosmetic: red stains on walls, sills, curtains, and carpet when they're crushed.
