Tiny Bugs On Concrete Wall

Bugholes are found more frequently in the upper portion of the concrete structure or at angled form surfaces as a result of additive accumulation from escaping air voids along the height of the structure.

Tiny bugs on concrete wall.

I detected some tiny insects wandering over my concrete. Have you ever wondered what those little tiny red bugs are that are usually found on concrete surfaces. Some of these insects are attracted to damp areas of concrete such as in basements while others can be seen crawling over relatively dry concrete walls or on sidewalks. They are covering the concrete walls and rocks outside but not really near the pla.

They are under 1 mm even with a magnifying glass you can t really make out details but you can see these tiny black spots marching. Well these bugs are called mites more specifically clover mites. They don t seem to fly. Clover mites generally feed on grass weeds and other vegetation.

The small gray bugs you find on concrete may belong to any of several species of insects. There is a garden on one side of the patio in case that matters. Arachnids instead of true insects spider mites typically feed on plants or other insects although the larval stage of the red chigger mite might take a bite of humans occasionally. I noticed them at a rate of maybe 10 or so per square meter.

These surface voids are primarily an aesthetic problem for exposed structural concrete. What do clover mites eat. Clover mites are an arachnid which makes them similar to spiders and ticks. Clover mites lay less producing only about 70 eggs but these pests are parthenogenetic meaning that eggs do not need to be fertilized.
