Grass Mites and Colorado Spiders

Grass Mites and Colorado Spiders are two names for the same type of pest which wreak havoc on lawns in Denver and throughout Colorado, particularly during dry patches. They feed on the roots and the blades of grass themselves leading to massive destruction of your lawn to the point where the grass actually dies and needs to be re-sodded. Here in Denver and around the state, grass mites and Colorado spiders are typically found on areas exposed to the sun. Our team of professionals have expert knowledge on these local pests. If you require a consultation or immediate attention, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

 

Grass Mite and Colorado Spider Season

Grass mites and Colorado spiders typically appear in large numbers in the winter months from November to March during warm and dry weather periods. Their peak numbers usually rise up in February and March. The most unfortunate aspect of grass mites and Colorado spiders that we have to deal with is the fact that it’s usually very difficult to tell that damage to your lawn has occurred until the grass starts to green up again in the spring. That is why it’s important to pay attention during the winter months. We have your professional solutions to the local grass mite and Colorado spider problems.

 

Finding Grass Mites and Colorado Spiders

Since it’s generally difficult to tell if your lawn has grass mites and Colorado spiders or not and they typically appear in the winter months when you’re not paying as much attention to your lawn, you may not know that you have a pest problem at all. Luckily, making this determination is not difficult. Just take a piece of paper and slide it across the grass on your lawn. If you observe little dots crawling on the piece of paper, then you have a pest problem. If this happens to you, give us a call at Tree Services Denver now! That is a problem you need to get taken care of rather quickly.
