not that....those red chiggers looking bastards digging into skin and laying eggs....skin is already feeling creepy crawly....
it'd be nice if you could feel them creeping and crawling, then you could kill them before they get under your skin. unfortunately, all you feel is the itch and burn after they have burrowed into you...

Well I am paranoid anyways and I can feel even the tiniest bastard whatever touching my skin....I hate the little fuckers.

It would totally suck to wake up and have little creepy baby maggots crawling around your body....:shock:

chiggers are sneaky. i've never felt them moving, though i've caught them crawling on me and squished the fuck out of them.

spider mites however, those i CAN feel, and i don't care what anyone says, those little fucking borg bastards BITE!!!

they are like the borg from star trek; assimilating everything in their path...

i fucking hate spider mites.
spider mites are a cunt but soapy water can even get rid of them

Thrips on the other hand, for me they are the fucking Borg you kill them and they come back harder till you nute them to the fucking stone age

I spray and water with spinosad in veg now or at the very least a 6 week fruit & veg insecticide

then every 1 to 2 months I set off a giant fogger

and once in a while I spray the bloom with some natural eco friendly brakes down in 2 days plant extract bud killing crap


That seems to keep them at bay but I am waiting for them to adapt

Finally after about 2 years of saying I`m going to I ordered some blue sticky traps too, lol

the ones i got in the basement ten years ago were resistant to everything. NOTHING killed them all. i ended up shutting down for six months and bleaching everything...

Ammonia works too in my experience. I read they dont bury themselves in the skin, but rather secrete a toxin that dries the skin and lay eggs in this area. The eggs then hatch and repeat elsewhere on the body. .... Minor difference...but more gross..South am i right?

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.

Food Grade DE - bros. Also use a respirator and wash your clothes and take a shower. You can get a decent respirator at Harbor Freight for $17.
