Please don't use those neurotoxins. Diazinon was taken off the market, so I am
not sure you can even get it any more. It's that toxic, it was pulled.

Try this first:

Try elemental sulfur on the site at 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. Also spray
Garden-Ville Auntie Fuego or other orange oil-based product. Treat your bites
with full strength orange oil, vinegar or comfrey juice fresh from the stems of
the plants

Thanks very much for the info, Alan. I was really hoping for a more
envirn-friendly solution but at this point it is all out war. Maybe someone
has another solution but if not, diazinon it is.
Thanks again,
Chris

Hey Chris, a few weeks ago I also had this problem. I did a little
research on it and found that you can control chiggers or as I have
always called them "redbugs" with diazinon or dursban. I never found any
organic treatment for them. You can protect yourself with "Off" or some
other insect repellent and it works pretty good. They love brush, tall
weeds and bermuda grass. If you keep your grass cut short it should
help. Hope this has helped some.
