great tip redwhiteblue, thanks for that.

Ill add my own tip on top of that. Usually your ticks and chiggers are going to get on you somewhere below the waist or knee. I bought a pair of cloth gaiters last year and i treat them and just keep them hanging up and handy. If im going somewhere ticky and havent had a chance to treat my clothes, just put these on over top of my pants and it works great.
