Tiny pest has power we hear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mite

'tiny pest' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'power we hear' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'might' (synonyms).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'might' sounds like 'MITE'.

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mite that I've seen before include "Little chap" , "Microscopic creature" , "Tiny arachnid, person or amount of money" , "Arachnid; small child" , "Very small creature or child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
