Are chiggers found in hay

Yes, chiggers can be found in hay. These tiny larvae are typically found in grassy and wooded areas, where they can attach to animals or humans that come into contact with infested vegetation. Hay, especially if it contains tall grass or weeds, can harbor chiggers, making it important to take precautions when handling or working with it. To minimize exposure, wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent can be effective.
