Little Mites In Soil
Little mites in soil
For the most part, soil mites are harmless to humans and plants. They are very beneficial to the decomposition process that plants and humans rely on. They can become a nuisance if they begin living in indoor potted containers or crawl around porches and patios.
What do mites look like in soil?
Here are a few tips for identifying soil mites: Look for small, brown, or black insects that have six legs and are about one-eighth of an inch long. If the soil is dry, mites may be seen crawling around on the surface. Check for fecal matter or eggs on the creature's body.
Do soil mites go away?
If you remove their food source, these insects will move away on their own! Repot your plants occasionally in fresh potting mix. Before introducing new plants into the home, inspect them to ensure they do not have any soil mites. Move your outdoor plants away from your compost heap if you have one.
