Will Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide kill and prevent clover mites?

Looking for the best products, both outdoor and indoor to rid my house of clover mites. Have used Talstar P (not so helpful anymore) and Cyzmic CS (NOT helpful at all). Would like a couple of REALLY good options to alternate. Thanks.

Answer:

Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide is not labeled to be used inside homes so would not be recommended for clover mites.  Talstar is one of the top products for clover mites but will not keep them away or repel them.  Unfortunately these pests seem to come back every year once the moisture comes and the weather gets warm, be sure to also treat the yard and at least 5-10 feet out around the foundation.   Temprid SC is another option to use.  You can also remove all grass and weeds within 18 to 24 inches of your home.  As well as put out a band of coarse sand, gravel, or wood chips immediately surrounding the foundation. This will keep clover mites from entering the structure.
