Chigger bites remedy or prevention
I adopted a fabulous Tibetan Terrier from
the SPCA here and took her to my elderly mom up in Kansas. This stretch of the Midwest (a band seemingly corresponding to the northern and southern border of Missouri and stretching across Kansas, Missouri, and perhaps points east, but not extending north to the Chicago area) has lots of nasty insects, including these little things. They are impossible to spot, hide out in grass, and once on your body, bite you in places where there is likely to be friction--the armpits, groin, back of your knee, etc. Anyway, the dog is enjoying life up there except for the chigger bites. The groomer is recommending some chemical treatment of the back yard. We are wary of that idea. Any suggestions would be welcome. -- A. Brain Remove NOSPAM for email. |

There's a point where that is the best solution, especially since Chiggers are nasty to people as well. Follow the instructions (let dry before allowing dog on area) and get bug free. I'd rather risk chemicals on the lawn than more chemicals directly on the dog. Many advantages, like stopping the breeding cycle, at least in your yard. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |
