Clover mite populations on lawns can be greatly reduced by providing some supplemental watering to areas where clover mites develop, such as warm, dry areas at the base of sun-exposed walls and around evergreens. This can be supplemented with spot spray treatments of insecticides in those areas where clover mites develop. However, presently there are no highly effective chemical controls for clover mites. Insecticide formulations labeled for use on lawns and that have either the active ingredient bifenthrin or lambda-cyhalothrin are most likely to assist in control of clover mites.
