Keep landscape beds weeded and remove accumulated leaf litter. Trim and prune landscape plants regularly to keep them from becoming overgrown. Remove brush piles from yourproperty. Because chiggers avoid sunny areas, eliminating shade in your yard can reduce chiggerpopulations.
Cover garden with artificial grass.
There is a product you can buy and spray on yourself that repels chiggers. Or you can mix 8 drops of peppermint oil into 4 oz. Of witch hazel and put in a spray bottle. It repels most insects. I too get chiggers and they are no joke!
