If anyone has any useful hints on chiggers, let me know.
I'm getting sick of having to use Cutter everytime I go
anywhere but the vegetable garden. I've been to several
web sites which aren't real informative. The "keep stuff
mowed" theory is clearly BS as our chiggers have been
spreading the past few years anyway, despite that.

When I was a combat engineer in the US Army, we spent a lot of time in
the woods in one location or the other, and there were chiggers
everywhere. We came to find that dog/cat flea and tick collars around
the boot tops put a halt to the little buggers. Since we crawled around
on the ground, too, we made waist-sized belts out of several of them.

Smelling like a flea collar is much better than having to deal with the
cure the Army had. Much better.
