Government suggests chigger remedy for lawns
The U S government offers guidance on chigger bites also called red bugs. Immediate bath after exposure to infested shrubbery helps, but after long exposure a bath is ineffective and direct remedies are needed. Apply ammonia to irritated areas, use a supersaturated baking soda solution for relief, and if needed apply iodine tincture or collodion lightly.
