How to do you kill chiggers???

Question

i have chiggers on my white shoes...i need to get them all off..no of them got on me

Answer 1

hummmm.....I was so excited thinking oh yea I know this answer BUT you said it didn't get on your skin so I am at a loss.  Sorry buddy.

If you have chiggers on your skin you spread clear nail polish all over the little red bumps.  Don't wash it off and apply as needed.  This kills the eggs and bugs on you.

Answer 2

i'm not really sure but I know bicarbonate of soda works wonders with many things - so a lightly dusting over all the areas may do the trick, alternatively is it ok for your shoes to get wet? - perhaps you can use a solution of bicarbonate of soda together with white vinegar and leave this solution on until it dries -  

Answer 3

The best way to deal with them is to prevent them. Use a good bug repellent when you are going into an area that has them. Once out of the area, take a shower or bath to wash them off as soon as possible. Use the nail polish or a clear anti itch lotion to help with the red welts. Good luck.

Answer 4

Try bleaching the shoes...since they're already white it probably won't hurt them.

Also, I'm not sure if it'll work on the shoes, but when my dad gets them after he goes hunting he puts clear nail polish on the parts where they were and it kills them right away...I mean RIGHT away.

Hope I helped!
