How do you avoid chiggers in the sandbox?

To avoid chiggers in the sandbox, ensure it is kept clean and free of debris, as these pests thrive in overgrown grass and weeds. Consider using a fine mesh cover to protect the sand when it's not in use. Additionally, applying insect repellent containing permethrin to clothing and exposed skin can provide extra protection. Regularly check for and remove any signs of chigger activity around the area.
