'When squished, clover mites release pigments that can leave behind a red stain on surfaces. It can be hard to remove, so experts recommend vacuuming them over crushing them.'
Apologies to the restaurant where I inadvertently squished one on a patio table last week.
Now that warmer weather is here, you may have noticed these tiny red creatures crawling across your windows, siding, patios, or concrete walkways. They don't bite, spread disease, or damage homes, but they do have an unusual trait you might not have known about.
