This treatment is formulated to target Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass mites. If left unchecked, these mites can dramatically affect your lawn's appearance. Most commonly, this pest leaves a lawn stunted, rosetted, or tufted in appearance.


Pest Description

Bermudagrass mite, Aceria (Eriophyes) cynodoniensis, and zoysiagrass mite, Aceria (Eriophyes) zoysiae, are very small mites, measuring approximately 1/100 inch long and cannot be seen with the naked eye. With magnification, they are worm-like or sausage-like and creamy white. Since they are eriophyid (gall-making) mites, they have only two pairs of legs in both the nymphal and adult stages.


Hosts

Bermudagrass is the only known host of bermudagrass mites, and zoysiagrass is the only known host of zoysiagrass mites.
