    Chiggers

    Jun 13, 2025

    Chigger is a common name for tiny mite larva (family Trombiculidae) whose feeding behavior and saliva causes intense, irritating itching in humans and animals. Only the chigger mites’ larval stage is parasitic. They prefer to feed on small mammals and birds but they do feed on humans. Later stages of chigger nymphs and adults prey on insect eggs and small arthropods like springtails (Koehler et al., 2022). Chigger mites are yellow to reddish in color but are typically too small to see without magnification (Koehler et. al., 2022).

This method involves allowing grasses such as tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass to grow during late summer and fall without grazing so they can be used later in the season.
