Chiggers can bite dogs and other animals, but they tend to prefer feeding on humans. If your dog is spending time in an area where chiggers are present, they may be at risk of being bitten.
To get rid of chiggers from your yard, here are some tips you can follow:
1. Keep your lawn well-maintained: Chiggers are most commonly found in grassy and wooded areas, so keeping the grass trimmed short and maintaining the yard can help reduce their habitat.
2. Remove overgrown vegetation: Chiggers tend to be found in dense vegetation, such as overgrown bushes, so removing these areas can help deter them from your yard.
3. Apply insecticide: Applying insecticide to your lawn and around the perimeter of your yard can help kill chiggers on contact.
4. Use diatomaceous earth: Applying diatomaceous earth to your yard can help kill chiggers by drying them out.
5. Use tick and flea collars: Using tick and flea collars on your pets can help deter chiggers and prevent them from being bitten.
Remember that chiggers are very small and can be difficult to see with the naked eye, so it is important to take precautions when spending time in areas where they may be present. Additionally, if you suspect that you have been bitten by chiggers, be sure to wash the affected area as soon as possible and use over-the-counter remedies to relieve the itching.
