The ice killed the chiggers! Man I hate those things! I was out moving a feeder and messing around on the land we hunt yesterday...that tall grass makes me itch just thinking about them!

The fire ants apparently did fine as well.

Whatever you wanted it to kill... it didn't.

And vice versa.

I sprayed fire ants yesterday. Been two years since I had to spray for them, but the cold really brought them out!

It didn't even singe the leaves on the rose hedge down here either. They were really easy to spot... The only thing green in the pastures.

It didn't happen before, so I doubt it happened this time.

Ticks and such survive ell in Canada and the northern tier states so I doubt cold is something that really bothers them.

Same here, two years since I had to put out fire ant bait. I had to treat 6 mounds last week.

Didn't seem to harm the dang scorpions either.

Chiggers are evil incarnate.
