Mites are circular creatures that are hard to see since they generally measure under 1mm long. Given their size, mites cannot be felt. The only sign of their presence is the itchiness left by their bites. The most common biting mites in California include the tropical rat mite, chicken mite, and northern fowl mite. The type of mite in your home can give a good indication of other pests.
The tropical rat mites tend to be in rat-infested areas while the chicken and northern fowl mites target birds and poultry. In most cases, mites do not set out to use humans as hosts; they latch on to humans when their primary host dies.

Bird mites are tiny parasites commonly found in nests, coops, and areas where birds roost. They feed on the blood of birds, including chickens, pigeons, and sparrows. When their avian hosts leave or nests are abandoned, bird mites may move indoors in search of new hosts, occasionally biting humans. These bites can cause itching, red spots, and irritation. Bird mites are most active in warm weather, and infestations are often controlled by removing bird nests near homes, sealing entry points, and applying treatments to infested areas. Simple Pest Management provides effective solutions to eliminate bird mites and reduce the likelihood of recurring issues.
Chigger mites, also known as red bugs, are tiny parasites found in grassy areas, woodlands, and gardens. They target humans and animals, causing intense itching and red welts. Chiggers latch onto skin, especially in warm, moist areas, where they inject digestive enzymes that break down skin cells. These mites are especially active in the summer. Controlling chigger mites requires thorough yard treatments, focusing on shaded areas, tall grass, and leaf piles to reduce their presence.
Clover mites are small, red arachnids that often invade homes during the spring and fall months. They feed on grasses and plants but do not bite humans. Though harmless, clover mites can be a nuisance when they invade homes in large numbers, leaving red stains when crushed. Simple Pest Management recommends exterior treatments and sealing cracks to prevent these mites from entering. Removing grass and plants near the foundation also helps in reducing clover mite populations.
Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments, particularly in homes with carpets, upholstered furniture, and bedding. These microscopic mites feed on dead skin cells, leading to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, and asthma. Regular vacuuming with HEPA filters, washing bedding in hot water, and reducing indoor humidity levels are effective ways to control dust mites. Simple Pest Management offers treatments to reduce mite populations and help manage allergies.
The southern red mite is a plant-feeding pest, often targeting azaleas, camellias, and other ornamental plants. These mites cause discoloration and leaf drop, weakening the plants. Found mostly in shaded landscapes, southern red mites are especially problematic during cooler months. Effective treatment includes targeted applications on infested plants to eliminate these mites. Regular inspections and proper watering techniques can also help reduce the risk of infestations.
Spider mites are tiny pests that feed on plant sap, leaving behind yellow or brown spots and fine webbing. They attack a variety of plants, including trees, shrubs, and crops, and can be particularly harmful during hot, dry conditions. To manage spider mites, Simple Pest Management uses specialized treatments that target these pests and their eggs. Ensuring plants receive proper watering and keeping dust levels low also helps prevent infestations from escalating.

The first step in mite control is a thorough inspection of your property. Simple Pest Management’s experts carefully examine areas where mites are likely to hide, such as bedding, furniture, and carpets. This allows them to identify the extent of the infestation and potential entry points. Once the inspection is complete, they provide a detailed report and recommend the best course of action to eliminate the mites efficiently.
After the inspection, Simple Pest Management implements an initial mite treatment plan. This treatment is designed to target active mite infestations and their breeding areas. Using eco-friendly products, the treatment focuses on eliminating mites from affected areas, while minimizing disruption to your home or business. This step aims to significantly reduce the mite population and prevent immediate reinfestation.
To ensure long-term mite control, Simple Pest Management conducts follow-up treatments. These treatments are essential for addressing any remaining mites and ensuring eggs do not hatch and reintroduce the infestation. The team re-inspects the premises, applies targeted treatments if needed, and provides recommendations for ongoing prevention. This process helps to maintain a mite-free environment over the long term.
