Can chiggers live in your bed?

Question

After going swimming in a river I came home with what I thought were chigger bites...they went away after a few days. Yet the bites are back again this morning- I was itching during the night. Could I be getting the bites from my bed? (I did just move into a cabin- if that is helpful info.)

Answer 1

They certainly can live in your sheets.

You need to spray your bed and surrounding area with a good insect spray ( I would recommend a chemical free one like Kleen-Free which i9 actually a cleaning product but it seems to control insects as well)

Then you need to add about 4 ounces of concentrated Kleen-Free to your wash and do all of your sheets etc. on hot temperature with no other detergent.

That should get rid of them.
