Thats right. It has failed. I got dozens of chigger bites when I was chopping out back. Tis the season. So I got this Yard Guard. I sprayed it around the patio to control pests. My teenage girls were unaffected by it! Maybe it will work on the chiggers, though.

And chiggers are much too small to use this Yard Guard on them.

LOL

Now that is funny.

I have heard of chiggers, but fortunately I have never come in to contact with them. It must be too hot here on AZ.

not humid enough in az for chiggers. count yourself lucky.

That's what I hear. My friend from Luisiana keeps telling me about them. They sound evil.

they are.

between them and ticks i don't know which is worse.

at least ticks can be yanked out. you don't know you have chiggers until you've rubbed your shins raw from unconscious itching.

try that 'yard guard' along with a Lighter!

Wow its funny you guys are talking about chiggers. I was just talking about them to a friend that lives out in the south. I had asked him how do u get read of them once u got them. I guess most folks use clear nail polish to put over the bit. Its suppose to keep them from getting air. I did a search and found that chiggers are a larva. They are microscopic and they feed on ur skin. Once the bites start to itch and get pimpely the chigger has already fallen off ur skin. I guess deet is one of the best ways to prevent them and some type of powder.

When Chiggers get to the nether regions....you are in for days of intense itching and scratching and discomfort of unknown proportions!!! They are the devil's finger!

Ouch!!

They delight in the nether regions. I have been miserable for three days! During the Summer, DEET is a must for this area. You can bet I got some.
