What kind of mite is this? I just noticed them yesterday crawling on the waterer in the coop. I have only seen them in the coop not on the chickens or ducks as of yet.

It looks like a concrete mite aka clover mite. They aren't the type to bite chickens.

Do mites ever really go away? Or are they always present in the environment?
