I hate chiggers - My feet are fucking itchy

[Billy_Sama!]

I dealt with both chiggers and ticks. Chiggers bites are the bigger nuisance but you don't have to worry about stuff like Lyme Disease like from ticks. I used to put permethrin on my hiking stuff and kept both ticks and chiggers off pretty well. Only issue with permethrin it is really dangerous to pets especially cats but my hate for ticks and chiggers outway the danger.

My mom always told me they would burrow under the skin. And the only way to get them out was to burn them. Like lightly grazing your skin with a lighter. Not like blowtorch (which I have done on other occasions).

I wonder if taking a bleach bath would help if you get them on you?

Bed bugs are actually worse than any of the bugs listed above but it doesn't sound like a slur. (I guess you could stretch it to sound like an STD.) Bed bugs are hell on Earth to endure, will live forever and you have to kill every single one or they'll just keep fucking. I guess the only benefit is that they don't spread disease.

Amorphous silica gel. First apply where they hide in the seams of your mattress, bedding, and other furniture with a makeup brush. Then around the legs of your furniture. Then around the baseboards along the walls. Arthropods have a waxy coating over their exoskeletons that protects them from bacteria, fungi, and most importantly in this case, dehydration. The ASG will just rip that coating off and quickly drop their population. Once you knock them down you can follow that up with other pest control measures.
