Mites (Acari)
Mites are a diverse group of arachnids that include pest species affecting plants, stored products, animals, and humans, ranging from spider mites and rust mites on plants to bird mites and rodent mites that can bite people. Some species are significant agricultural pests capable of devastating crops, while others cause itching and dermatitis in humans. Correct mite species identification is critical because management strategies vary significantly across the group. Our technicians identify the mite species and implement targeted programs tailored to the specific pest and environment.
