My wife and I and the dog just got back from a short walk off 206 and we got a load of chiggers that looked like something out of a horror movie.
The dog is springer and all his white hair looked like it was moving without him!
My wife and I sprayed our boots and pants but it didn't matter. We were loaded.
On the quick ride home she told me our neighbor uses duct tape turned sticky side out to get them off her legs and ankles so we decided to try it.
It works like a charm and speeds up the removal process 300%.
Beats pickin' and scrapin' them one at a time and rubbing with gas or alcohol.
You get all of them in a couple of swipes.
We tried it on the dog and it worked okay but it was a little hard because of the hair.
Simple trick and it works.

I must know! Are the tiny tick-like things I got onme today chiggers or ticks. I spent all my ride home finding tiny tick-like creatures on my legs. They magically appear in areas I already checked...over and over.
