I always thought they were those tiny biting gnats that come out right at sunset and swarm all over you. If you don't live near a swamp you probably never encountered any.

I think no-see-ums are biting midges, which are biting gnats like you say.

Does deet have an odor that will affect your deer hunting?? Also is there any sprays that you can use for them on grasses and such??

Ok I could doa search but I have you guys, whats a chigger?

Come down to Arkansas, Fraley. I have a whole crop of chigggers I can introduce you to so you can fully experience the joys of chigger bites! LOL

Uhh! Go one page back and you can read that really long post about them.

Thanks I think, kind of like a tick

I've heard some crazy names for problems as a paramedic, but Ive never heard of chiggers, or anyone complain of them.What are they and what caused them? Good Luck!

seems liek this comes up every year this time of the year, you knwo if you woudlnt bath in them you woudlnt get them and then thered be no problems

The bleach baths work!! If you hadred bugs(AKA chiggers)bad enough, you wouldn't think twice about jumping in a bleach bath. Just mix 5-6 ounces of bleach with a tub full of water. Quick and easier than nail polish and other methods.
