Avoid Chigger Bites: Powder it Up or Spray it Up or Splash it On-DEET

Finding a good insect repellent is handy when trying to avoid chigger bites. There are many commercial brands on the market which works well in repelling chiggers. DEET is the most widely known active ingredient in most brands.

I have found the most effective repellent can be found in the feed stores. Feed stores carry repellents for pets that are much more effective then most brands labeled for human use.

WARNING: DEET has been proven to cause nerve damage when applied to the skin. It can have devastating affects far worse than a few chigger bites years down the road, including seizures and even death.

DO NOT apply DEET to the skin and for heaven sakes do not apply to children.

Apply DEET to the cuff areas of the pants and shirts, up and down the pant legs and around the belt line and shirt front.

Flowers of Sulfur is a natural repellent and can be found in most drug stores. Powder the sulfur as described for the DEET.
