For 2 years we have lived in a rural part of Ga right on the Alabama line on 16 acres where there are 10 large older blueberry bushes, although I am very grateful to have blueberries year round in my freezer I did have an infestation of chiggers when we moved here. I did lots of research and found out that they gravitate toward berry bushes and how to get rid of them which I did and it worked perfectly and no more bites while walking b them or picking them.
5 tablespoons soap to 1 gallon of water
OR
1 heavy tablespoon soap to 1 quart of water all depending of how any bushes you have to spray or how large. Then you put it into a hand sprayer for the lesser amount or a pump type sprayer for the larger amount and spray your bushes from top to bottom and around the ground as well and them in 2 weeks again to kill any larva that has hatched. this will do it for sure as I have experience with it for the past 2 years. Good luck
Thanks!
