Chiggers love shade and humidity!
They are like vampires, they hate the sun and dry places.
By mowing the lawn and removing weeds, chiggers have no reason to stay!
Diatomaceous earth is a fine white powder made up of microscopic fossilized algae.
It is a very effective 100% natural product that is also inexpensive.
Why ? Because it dries up everything in its path!
And prevents chiggers from sticking around and growing.
If you've ever been bitten and it itches badly, use these DIY remedies here.
You have to get to know your enemy. Do you know that these are not insects but spiders?
With their 8 legs, chiggers are part of the arachnid family.
They are known as "aoutats" because they have the annoying habit of showing up in August.
Adults, they measure 2 mm and are yellowish-white in color. But the problem is not with the adults, but with their larvae.
In the spring, each female lays some 400 eggs buried in the ground. After a month, these eggs become larvae looking for food.
And there, any vertebrate will do:dog, cat, rabbits, hedgehogs, moles, rodents, birds and even humans!
