Ticks?

[Boyd]

I helps with chiggers, but doesn't seem to be completely effective. The most important thing is to tuck your pants into your socks, and make sure there are no holes in your shoes/socks/pants. I got some very itchy chigger bites on my foot even though I used permethrin last year. But when I looked closely at my shoe, there was a little hole near the place I was bitten.

The chiggers were terrible last summer.

Here is a link I came across today about the myths and truths of chiggers. Put out by the Missouri Dept of Conservation. Its long but contains loads of information.

if controlled burns are a way of keeping check on the tick and chigger population, that makes them even more useful
