Hunter115522 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) @Zone50BugNerd Maybe you can help lol. Been getting tons of these all over my table on my patio. I spray it down, couple hours later they are all over again. They almost remind my of ticks (i know they aren't tho) They are tiny, green. No woods around, the table is on pavers. I don't know where they are coming from? Edited April 30, 2021 by Hunter115522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell from the photo if those are antenna or pedipalps. Mites would pedipalps, whereas aphids have antenna (useful information in making an identification). Clover mites, although typically red, have sub species that as adults are green in color. Either/or they are originating from the lawn and turf. Have you recently put down any turf builders or fertilizers? I’ll skim through some texts tonight and see what I can find. Turf is typically outside of my area, but I’ll dig deeper.

Thanks so much for the info. No turf builder or fertilizer added recently. The strange thing is, this table is about 15 feet from the nearest grass, as it's on my pavers. Don't know how the size conveys in the pic, but they are TINY. The size of a pen dot. I hosed the table off about 2 hours ago, just check.. they are all over again.

Zone50BugNerd Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Zoomed in closer on the pics, 6 legs, so it’s an insect and not a mite (they have 8). I’m still leaning towards a greenbug aphid, of which there are some 70+ different species. The distance from patio to grass doesn’t exclude these critters, they travel. I wouldn’t be overly concerned, and I would stop spraying the patio to be honest, it is of little value. You could try a turf treatment with any over the counter product at Lowe’s or Home Depot, most of them synthetic pyrethroids; but chose a granular product that you would apply with a drop spreader. Don’t over due it either, whatever the label calls for as far as spreader setting goes, adhere to it. Hunter115522 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
