Biology
Mites are very small arthropods which are closely related to ticks. Mite larvae have six legs whereas the nymphal and adult stages have eight. Most species of mites are pests of agricultural crops. However, certain types of mites are parasitic on humans.
Overview
Chiggers are the larvae of a family of mites that are sometimes called red bugs. The adults are large, red mites often seen running over pavement and lawns. Chiggers are extremely small (0.5 mm) and are difficult to see without magnification. The six-legged larvae are hairy and yellow-orange or light red. They are usually encountered outdoors in lo...
Life cycle
Chiggers overwinter as adults in the soil, becoming active in the spring. Eggs are laid on the soil. After hatching, the larvae crawl about until they locate and attach to a suitable host. The larvae do not burrow into the skin, but inject a salivary fluid which produces a hardened, raised area around them. Body fluids from the host are withdrawn t...
Treatment
Persons walking in chigger-infested areas can be protected by treating clothing (cuffs, socks, waistline, sleeves) or exposed skin with tick repellents. Some repellents should only be used on clothing; and it is important to follow label directions. People who suspect they may have been attacked by chiggers should take a soapy bath immediately and ...
Signs and symptoms
Human scabies mites are very small and are rarely seen. They commonly attack the thin skin between the fingers, the bend of the elbow and knee, the penis, breasts, and the shoulder blades. The mites burrow into the skin, making tunnels up to 3 mm (0.1 inch) long. When they first burrow into the skin, the mites cause little irritation, but after abo...
Management
The first step in controlling bird or rodent mites is to eliminate the host animals and remove their nesting sites. Often, the nests will be found in the attic, around the eaves and rafters, or in the gutters or chimney. Gloves should be used when handling dead animals. A respirator should also be worn when removing nest materials to avoid inhaling...
Are mites arthropods?
They are a very diverse group of arthropods and can be found in just about any habitat. Mites are scavengers, predators, or parasites of plants, insects and animals. Some can transmit diseases, cause agricultural losses, affect honey bee colonies, or cause dermatitis and allergies in humans.
Where do mites live?
Mite, any of numerous species of tiny arthropods, members of the mite and tick subclass Acari (class Arachnida), that live in a wide range of habitats, including brackish water, fresh water, hot springs, soil, plants, and (as parasites) animals, including humans. Parasitic forms may live in the nasal passages, lungs, stomach,...
What are plant feeding mites?
Plant feeding mites are major pests of agricultural crops and ornamentals. They disrupt physiological processes, change the physical appearance of the plant, and transmit diseases to crops.
What are the different types of mites?
Mites of the order Astigmata (superorder Acariformes) include the grain and cheese mites (Acaridae), itch mites (Sarcoptidae) of humans and animals, scab mites (Psoroptidae), feather mites of birds, mites associated with insects, and many free-living forms.

VARROA MITE DETECTION METHODS Effective mite control depends on frequent and reliable mite detection. Varroa mites spread rapidly
between hives and apiaries due to drifting, robbing and hive movement. Mite levels often rise rapidly
in late summer and early fall. In heavily infested areas, mite levels can grow from being undetectable
to catastrophic levels within a couple of months.Which Colonies to Test
In small apiaries each colony should be tested regularly for mites. In larger apiaries, a few randomly
selected colonies should be earmarked as "test colonies" for the season and tested regularly. When test results signal the need for treatme nt, all the colonies of the apiary should be treated. Commercialbeekeepers should test at least 10% of colonies in each yard regularly. In all cases, unusually large or
small colonies should be tested.When To Test
Varroa mites have become endemic in all areas of BC. No matter how isolated the apiary, the beekeeper must assume that mites are in the area. Varroa's high virulence demands frequent monitoring from early spring to fall. Test every 4-6 weeks from the start of the beekeeping season to the fall.TEST METHODS
Each detection method has advantages and disadvantages. Whatever method used, it is recommended to; Use the same testing method through the entire season, Keep a record of each test result. While the actual number of counted mites is important, it is equally important to be aware of mite population trends.Common detection methods and required equipment:
1. Icing Sugar Shake Method - jar with screened lid, icing sugar, fine sieve, water,
bucket2. Alcohol Wash Method - jar, wiper fluid, wire-screen, fine sieve, bucket
3. Icing Sugar / Sticky Board Method - Icing sugar, sticky board
4. Drone Brood sampling - decapping fork
5. 24-hour Strip / Sticky Board Method
6. Sticky Board (only).
Each method is described below with an indication of its accuracy.Varroa Mite Detection Methods

1.Icing Sugar Shake Method
Widely used method as bees are not killed. Easy, quick, and reasonably accurate. Allows for calculated estimate of mite infestation. To adopt this as a standard testing method, first select a jar with sealable lid. Collect 300 dry, well -preserved dead bees and mark the level on the jar with a felt pen. Cut the lid and glue in wire-mesh. Collect live bees from the brood area up to the marked level of the jar. (Make sure the queen is not included!). Close the jar with the screened lid. Add about 100 ml of icing sugar. Gently shake the jar with bees for about 2 minutes. Turn the jar upside and gently shake icing sugar with mites onto the fine sieve. Repeat by pouring about 100 ml icing sugar to the bees in the jar again and repeat gentle shaking. After a couple of minutes, pour icing sugar onto the sieve.Pour water over the icing sugar to dissolve.
Count the mites and record.
Open the jar and pour the icing-sugar coated bees into the hive. The bees will clean themselves and remove the icing sugar.Mite Level Determination:
A mite count of 9
- 10 mites represents 3%. This level represents the "Economic Threshold Level" and treatment should be applied. Any higher mite counts call for prompt treatment. Note; Any higher mite counts may not guarantee of colony survival after treatment. 2.Alcohol Wash Method
This method is essentially the same as the Icing Sugar Shake method except alcohol is used. Scoop live bees from the brood area up to the marked level of the jar. Add about 100 ml (~ 3 oz) of windshield wiper fluid and gently shake for several minutes. Avoid spillage. Turn the jar upside down and pour contents over the fine sieve. The wire-mesh screen will catch the adult bees, while the sieve will catch mites.Repeat procedure.
Count number of mites and record.
Mite Level Determination: Same as Icing Sugar Shake method. 3.Icing Sugar / Sticky Board Method
Most suitable during summer season as a quick test to determine low or high mite levels. Install sticky board on the bottom board. (Commercial sticky boards are available. Home-made sticky board can be made using a 18" x 12" sheet of corrugated white plastic. Spray thin layer of baking oil (~PAM). After test, use squeegee to remove oil and mites.)Varroa Mite Detection Methods

Remove honey supers first. Sprinkle a cupful of icing sugar at the top of spaces between brood frames. When colony has two brood chambers, only apply to the second chamber. Reinstall honey supers. Remove sticky board after 24 hours, count mites and record.Mite Level Determination: Low
4.Drone Brood Sampling Method
Easy, quick but only offers an estimate of low or high mite levels. Method should not be used as primary detection method. Sample about 100 capped drone cells in the purple-eye pupal stage. Slide the prongs of a de- capping fork along the comb face and into the protruding drone cappings. Pry upward and remove the pupae. Carefully examine the drone bodies and the interior of brood cells for mites. 5.24-Hour Strip & Sticky Board" Method
Test method includes the installation of a miticide strip which treats the entire colony for 24 hours. The test only indicates low or high mite levels but doesn't allow for a calculated estimate. Install one strip per nucleus or two strips for a standard two-supered hive, between central brood frames. Daytime temperatures must be 10 degrees C or higher. Strips and sticky board must be removed after 24 hours. Mite strips may include; Apivar (amitraz), Apistan (fluvalinate), CheckMite+ (coumaphos),Bayvarol (flumethrin).
Mite Level Determination: There is no fixed value for when to treat because the size of the colony is not known. In general, when there are 300 mites on a sticky board, treatment is recommended.Varroa Mite Detection Methods
Page 4
Note: Strips that are only used for detection purposes (and not for 6-week treatments) may be re-used
a few times for 24 -hour tests before disposal. Make sure that the strips are not exposed to sunlight. Store in a marked container in a cool, dry and dark place.6. Sticky Boards
The installation of a sticky board on the bottom of the hive by itself is NOT an effective method to determine mite infestation levels (unless very high). Sticky boards are only recommended for use in combination with miticide strips or formic acid.For information about
