Immortal chiggers

Q&A

Is there any way to get rid of chiggers? I’ve put down graules twice and watered them in but the chiggers didn’t miss a beat. For years I’ve had to keep people out of the backyard and I’d like to do something about it. Thanks. - Seneca -

    Proper chemical applications on the lawn and surrounding areas are a tool. The other and best option is personal protection. That means apply your repellent before heading outdoors. This combination is probably the best route to go.
