Clover Mites?

Does anyone know anything about Clover Mites and ways to destroy them? Such as their gestation period and predators?

Been noticing large red mites running quickly along the tops of leaves in my greenhouse.

Neem oil and biodegradable dish soap. The like to breed in cement cracks or bricks from.what i can tell. I blast the cracks and bricks of my patio with the hose and I think the water pressure is enough to crush them.

Your sure they are clover. No webbing on leaves?

Theres no webbing. Also they only seem to be on the tops of the leaves. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there. Also they are fast and very large for a mite. I sprayed a couple days ago and i didnt see them for a few days but theyre already making appreances again.

Spray plants every day with water to dislodge and discourage them

If you are in veg, wettable sulfur powder 1-2 tbsp per gallon of water will eliminate mites. Plants with excess nitrogen are also more attractive to pests so be careful overfeeding them.
