Sounds weird, but it really does work on 2 parts. Take Bag Balm or a Vaseline based rub and rub over the chigger bites. Then you wrap the area in saran wrap to cover, so you don't get it all over your bed sheets-- and go to bed. You will have suffocated the little buggers and softened your skin at the same time.
For outside or in your home, Or-tho Home Defense. Best stuff I've ever used for ANY bug!!

To kill chiggers on you take a rag soaked in 2parts water and 1 part bleach and apply to the affected area, OR take clear nail polish and "paint" over the bites. you have to leave it on until it wears off. The nail polish deprives the chigger of oxygen and it dies. The bleach kills them very quickly.
You then have to treat your lawn. A product lilke Sevin Dust should take care of them, and is safe for pets and humans, but ask your local MFA person or Agricultural expert. I have never used anything stronger than Sevin Dust for my yard and pet areas. It's great stuff. Good luck hope it helps. Nana
