Just like any other pest, chiggers can take over your outdoor space if you let them. Chiggers are tiny and you really cannot see them crawling on your skin. An attack from chiggers can be quite irritating and painful. There are several natural remedies to control or eliminate chiggers from the backyard or garden as well as some pesticides which provide effective results. If you are seeing more than a few chiggers on your property, chances are you have a pretty bad infestation. Chiggers feed on many animals and birds. In most cases, if you are seeing chiggers it’s because they are coming directly from another animal or bird that had become infested with them. Even though these pests may be small in size, the problems that can come from a bad infestation can be quite overwhelming. With this in mind, even if you only see one or two of these little guys, you should take a few precautions to prevent them from multiplying out of control and ruining your summer fun with family and friends.
Pesticide For Chiggers
Chemical is one of the best ways to get rid of chiggers. Chiggers are tiny insects that burrow under your skin and feed on your blood. They can cause a lot of irritation, pain, and itching. Pesticides for chiggers are available over-the-counter in most places. They come in spray bottles or as powders, and some are even made to be put on clothes before you go out into the woods or other locations where you might encounter chiggers.
Chiggers are tiny mites that attach themselves to humans and feed on their blood. They’re also called harvest mites, red mites, and redbugs. Chiggers are found throughout the world and can be found in grassy areas where animals graze, in forests where there are many trees and bushes, in grassy fields, and near lakes and streams.
Chiggers live together in groups called colonies. Each colony can have hundreds or thousands of individuals. These colonies make their homes under rocks or logs. Chiggers feed on plants and animals, including humans. They are most active during the summer months when they seek out warm-blooded creatures such as people to bite.
Chigger bites cause itching around the site of the bite for about 2 weeks after being bitten by one of these pests. This itching is caused by an allergic reaction that takes place after being bitten by one of these pests which causes inflammation at the site of the bite before developing into a rash that spreads over time onto surrounding skin areas especially when scratched or rubbed repeatedly causing further irritation.
The most common pesticide used for chiggers is permethrin. It comes in liquid form and can be sprayed directly onto your clothing or applied as a dusting powder before heading outdoors. Permethrin kills chiggers quickly and effectively, but it does not kill ticks or mosquitoes without being mixed with DEET (diethyl methanearsonate).
Another option is pyrethrins, which are insecticides derived from the flowers of the pyrethrum plant (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium). They work like natural pesticides by stopping insects from breathing by blocking their receptors in the brain that control breathing muscles. Pyrethrins are safe for use around humans because they do not affect us at all.
