those are chiggers. they won't hurt the plants, but will bury under your skin and itch like hell. once that happens, the only way to kill them is to cover their 'tunnel' into your skin with nail polish. then they die and are absorbed by your body.

A: Red bugs, chiggers, berry bugs, scrub-itch mites and harvest mites are all terms used to describe members of the family of insects known as Trombiculidae. These reddish-orange mites can be found worldwide, but they really enjoy hanging out in damp, grassy and wooded areas, especially at the edges of forests.

they are chiggers. been dealing with those bastards for decades.

I wouldn't be able to put up with it. They're like a tick I would fog the shit out of them.

too many acres to fog. access to the river was always through brush, weed, and reeds. they were unavoidable in summer. fortunately, that's the only time of year they were bad, about july to late september...

haven't seen any since i moved out of that state

does spinosad work on them ?

does spinosad work on them ?

it should. off deep woods works well, but should be used liberally (on human skin, not plants). they aren't going to hurt the plants, but they'll make you hate them if they get under your skin.

diatomaceous earth use a mask and don't breathe it in everyone says use food grade not sure how importaint that is if you cant get food grade then wash the plants off after a few days.
