Mite Control

You glance at the windowsill and do a double-take — did that speck of dust just get up and walk? If you see something like that, there’s a good chance you’re looking at a mite.

How Does Mite Treatment Work?

Our approach to mite control is all about thoroughness and long-lasting relief. With our proven three-step approach, we’ll make sure the problem doesn’t just go away. We’ll make sure it’s solved.

• First, we conduct a detailed property inspection, zeroing in on the nooks and crannies mites love. We also check for signs of moisture or unsealed entry points that might encourage mites to move in.
• Next, we craft a targeted treatment plan. This can involve applying specialized products in high-activity zones, implementing discrete bait stations when necessary, and carefully sealing cracks to reduce mite traffic in and out of your home. We’re particularly skilled in clover mite control, a service homeowners throughout the Southeast often request due to the red stains these mites can leave behind.
• The final step is mite prevention so you stay protected over the long term. Over time, our approach keeps mites at bay and gives you peace of mind.

How to Tell If You Have Mites

Mites are incredibly small, which makes them tricky to spot. Here are a few signs that might suggest an infestation:

• Red or brown specks crawling on window ledges, walls, or surfaces (often clover mites).
• Tiny bites or irritation on your skin.
• Plants with yellowed or speckled leaves.
• Unexplained staining on furniture or curtains where mites have been crushed.

If you suspect mites but aren’t entirely sure, call a professional. Our technicians know exactly where to look and how to confirm if mites are the culprit.

Common Mites in the Southeast

Mites are tiny arachnids, meaning they’re closely related to spiders, scorpions, and ticks. There are many different kinds of mites, but here in the southeastern United States these are the ones that cause the most issues:

• Clover Mites: Tiny red mites that often invade homes in large numbers, leaving red stains when crushed.
• Dust Mites: Known for triggering allergies and asthma symptoms; invisible to the naked eye.
• Spider Mites: Primarily found on houseplants or outdoor foliage, causing discoloration and leaf drop.
• Bird Mites: May move indoors if birds are nesting around your home, leading to itchy bites.
