How do I get rid of Chiggers in my flower garden?

flower gardens
toddler & twin mommy asked:


The ower of the house before me put red lava rock down right before I moved in. I was planting in the flower bed and noticed the Chiggers. I want to get rid of them without killing my plants, does anyone know what is best to use? I also have pets and children, so I would prefer something that isn’t quite so toxic, if possible.

Thanks ahead of time!!

There are insecticides for lawns and flowers to git rid of insects. Check with your garden center.

I would use seven spray. As soon as it drys you can enter the area. Not very toxic to people and it does a good job on a lot of insects. Don’t mix it to strong or it can burn the plants in the sun. Follow the label.

Blend 40 fresh chilli peppers in 1 pound of water. Add 5 g of Ivory soap flakes to the blended chilli mixture. Apply as required undiluted wearing eye protection.
