Clover Mites

How can I eliminate clover mites that are invading my home?

Indoors: Clover mites should be removed with a vacuum to reduce red smears and stains. Outdoors: A 5-ft band of bare soil around the foundation will discourage mite infestation.  Aerosol sprays Permethrin 0.25% Tralomethrin 0.03% Lamda-Cyhalothrin2 microencapsulation 0.015-0.03% Cypermethrin2 Wettable powder. Indoors: Direct spray onto mites in cracks and other areas where they hide. Outdoors: Prepare a 5 ft wide strip of bare soil next to the house foundation the first week of May. Apply to the bare soil as a barrier completely around the house. Spray house 2 ft up from foundation siding and soil out 6 inches to1.0 ft from foundation.
