Abstract: This review summarizes domestic and overseas research on the outbreak causes and control strategy of pest mites. The main factors of the pest mites outbreak are the development of drug-resistance of pest mites, the simplification of crop varieties in facility agriculture, the cultivation and promotion of pest- resistant varieties, the cultivation practices (especially the way of water supply), the special micro- environment of facility agriculture (temperature and humidity), etc.; and the main reason for the failure of the control strategy is that single chemical control leads to the rapid development of the drug- resistance of the pest mites. In addition, the use of high toxic chemical pesticides is not only unsafe, but also a great harm to human health, and its negative effect is obvious. Therefore, the pest mites control in facility agriculture lies in cropping diversity, using specific insecticide, reducing side effects on the natural enemies and developing balanced ecological agriculture ecosystem. In the future, the comprehensive prevention and control measures should be enhanced in plant protection research, to provide references for the sustainable agriculture development, and safe and efficient facility agriculture production.
