Red Mite or Clover Mite

Typically found outdoors on lawns, clover, and vegetation; frequently invade homes in large numbers during spring and fall through small cracks around windows and doors.

Plant feeders, sucking juices from grasses, clovers, and other plants. They do not feed on humans or pets.

They are active during cooler periods (spring/autumn) and tend to seek shelter indoors when temperatures drop or vegetation dries out. They are known for leaving reddish stains when crushed.

Harmless to humans and pets (they do not bite or transmit disease). However, they are considered a nuisance pest because they can invade structures in massive numbers and leave stubborn red stains on fabrics and walls if squashed.
