The tiny red spiders all over your house, are ACTUALLY all over your yard. Clover-mites are in your lawn more often then not, and it is simply not enough to just spray the perimeter of the home like most traditional pest control companies do. Here on the Bug Bully blog, we LOVE to give free tips on how to control bugs before having to call a professional. And today is no different. But it isn’t easy….

A Rock Strip. Clover-mites and other plant infesting mites are on your house incidentally, due to the proximity of the plants and/or grass they are infesting. A rock strip around the home, will keep them off the house naturally. Obviously this doesn’t get rid of the mites in your grass, but can be a longterm help in the fight to control the population in your neighborhood.

How do we control spider and clover-mites?

The “issue” with foliate treatments (grass and plants) is that traditionally these treatments only work for a short period of time. That’s where oils come in. At Bug Bully we mix a very specific active Miticide MIXED with essential oils contained in the organic product, Essentria IC3. Our lithium-ion backpacks atomize the spray to cover your grass and bushes to destroy spider-mite and clover-mite infestations.
