Spider mites are little red arachnids which exist throughout the United States. They are very small - smaller than a poppy seed - and are many times confused with clover mites or chiggers.

The European red mite is another introduced pest in the US. It is a pest of nut, pome and stone fruits, and some berries. This pest damages leaves and causes fruit russetting. European red mites can have 6 to 8 generations per year, depending on the temperature. Summer generations may develop in as little as 14 days.

First make sure that you have spider mites. Red spider mites are just visible to the human eye and should be easily visible with a five power hand lens. They look like little red spiders. If you look carefully you should also be able to see eggs that look like microscopic pearls.

Though the mites are most active during warm weather, they continue to be more active at lower temperatures than many insects. The mites spin very little webbing, but they are able to cling tenaciously to the leaf surfaces and, unlike the common red spider mite, are not easily washed off by rains or heavy sprays.

In spring, little red mites are often found on freshly turned soil in gardens and fields. These may be chiggers or they may be pests which feed on beans, strawberries, clover or other plants, causing the leaves to curl, turn yellow and die.
