You mean "chiggers?" I always wash my ft and legs when I come in from the yard to keep them off and it works. You can use sprays or Avon Skin so soft but washing is cheaper and doesn't hurt the invironment. Use Benedryl creme to stop the itch. If they bother you in bed and start to itch when you cover up , take a Benedryl a little while before bed to help from the inside also. It makes most ppl sleepy. My grandkids haven't had them as badly this yr. Last yr they were eat up! It was horrible for the boys since they love to play outside so much. I guess it has been too hot this yr for them to play out as much. It is still over 100 all this week again here in NE Texas and they say it will be again next wk!Best wishes and don't scratch-rub!!

Once they are on you or your clothing, it's too late! It's better to use a little prevention like "Off" or some other insect repellent to keep them from getting on you or your clothing. If you don't like using chemicals, try some orange oil...it's made from the skin of oranges.

chiggers!
you get rid of them by putting what's basically nail polish on top of them... it itches so that, when you scratch it, you create a hole so they can breathe. if you don't scratch it, and put nail polish on top, they die. you can buy at the pharmacy a solution which is basically clear nail polish with anti-itch formula to put on top of it. that's the best solution.

spray an insect repelent on your legs and arms or use the avon skin so soft it works just as well, or you could wear long sleeves and pants when you walk thru the woods

chiggers...your doctor can give you a cream that will kill them, and help with the itch.....
you can't get rid of them otherwise, as they burrow under your skin....
