Clover mites feed on over 200 plant varieties including clover, grasses, ivy and honeysuckle. They do not bite humans but can leave stains on curtains, walls and carpets if crushed. Removing clover mites from the home can easily be done with a vacuum, though they will continue to live inside the vacuum so dispose of them as needed.
Mites do not readily cross loose, clean, cultivated soil so maintaining a plant-free perimeter around the home can prevent them from entering. Limit the growth of host plants near the home and instead plant species that are not attractive to mites such as marigolds, petunias, geraniums and yews. Insecticidal soaps can kill clover mites on contact, but it may be preferable to contact a pest management professional if the problem persists.
