Clover mites live in turfgrass and feed on plant fluids.
They do not bite people or animals. Sometimes in the spring their populations increase rapidly and mites leave the turfgrass and climb on houses, and enter through windows. They do not infest houses. Outbreaks may last only a few days. They are weak fliers, typically flying only a few feet at a time.
