My milkshake brings all the chiggers to the yard....

Front yard is infested with chiggers (and they all seem to skip my feet, ankles and legs and head straight for my pelvic/crotchal region).  Is there a yard treatment to get rid of them or do I simply find a pesticide spray for yards?

Buy Bifen IT and a hose end sprayer from amazon. Set it to about 4tbsp per gallon. Spray it liberally to cover the yard, up into trees, along your foundation about 3’ up, bushes/shrubs, sidewalks and anything else you can reach.

 

Repeat every 1-3 months. Works wonders for us, it’s cheap and labeled for chiggers. Can also be used indoors. Pet/kid safe once dry. Do not apply 24 hours before rain.

 

A gallon lasted me three years.

I echo homercles but I'd buy bifen xt instead of IT. Xt is oil based. It'll stay on grass and soil longer. IT is water based and is better used inside where it won't stain baseboards and walls. Both have the same killing power though.

I've always called crotch chiggers by a different name.

Your husband knows the real reason why your crotch areas is infested.
