Remedy for chiggers in compost
I have been trying to reply to all the post to let ya'll know how to get rid of these beasts. But to no avail. I have to register or do something that wont let me reply... Anyway, I was subjected to chiggers many years ago, it was all over my body as well in my hair and the remedy was to soak in a bath of scalding hot water. It worked! I recently started composting in one of those spin bins and a few weeks ago when I spinned the bin, about a thousand tiny red spiders came out.... I didn't think to protect myself, I got out the big guns and started spraying the bin... compost or not... Two weeks later.. I came home from work and spun the compost again and there they were. Thousands of them... I poured scalding hot water on top and inside and I am chigger free.
