When the bite starts to itch, the chigger is no longer there, it is gone. In fact, they fall off very easily when you take a bath. They bite the skin and don't burrow like a tick because they survive on skin fluids, not blood. You are not killing anything with the home remidies. What nail polish does is seal the area off from the air which keeps it from itching so much. So salves or creams with antihistimines will do the same thing with the addition of reducing the swelling. I have had luck with Preperation H cream and even the wipes.
Thank you,it is obvious many didn't read my post.
No see ums are litle biting suckers that look like miniature gnats.They are so small you don't SEE UM untill they bite you.That was the main reason I bought my thermacell.Mosquitos aren't bad where I hunt but them little suckers will carry you away.
