How To Get Rid Of Chiggers

How To Get Rid Of Chiggers MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 33-5-41 Down here in the South, we have little blood-sucking bugs called chiggers. They're practically invisible, hungry and vicious. I am proud to say I've found a way to kill them. I just put a short extension pipe on a gas-powered leaf blower, get upwind of an area to be treated on a dewy morning, cut a small hole in top of a 10 percent Sevin bag, and slowly pour dust into the air stream. With a little practice, you can fog an area up to the treetops over several acres without a lot of effort. The dew on the leaves and grass will hold the dust and kill the pests. Works well to treat fruit trees, too. (John Gammill, Malvera, Ark.)
