The best product to use on the bite is
chigger bite ointment. This ointment will take the "itch"
away and promote healing. Since
chiggers will readily climb over clothing to
get to your flesh, use permethrin concentrate on shoes and pants. Permethrin is odorless, easy
to mix and works well at keeping many pests
away. Mix some up in a small spray bottle for
spraying while afield. Be sure to use it on shoes
and pants to keep them off and apply as needed.
Though the aerosol is easy to use, the concentrate
will prove to be more cost effective if you will
be using a lot. As an added measure, you should
treat your skin with some repellent as well. This
way if the chiggers some how get past your clothes,
they won't want to stick around on your treated
skin. There are many repellents for use one your
skin but the best is either citronella lotion
or deet . Citronella has long been used as a general
insect repellent and though not too effective
when dispersed in the air, it does a good job
as a contact repellent. This lotion can be applied
as frequently as needed and won't pose a hazard
to anyone that wants some type of protection. If
the chiggers are really bad and you want the
strongest protection available, the Deet would
be the best choice. It will last longer then the
Citronella and will work better overall.

Our dog won't stop scratching She has been treated for fleas with a spot-on but is still scratching We can't find any evidence of fleas on her Any suggestions please?
Did you check for chiggers, I have a dog as well and she has no fleas but she has had chiggers before. We didn't know why she was scratching so much but then I found out chiggers while their young cannot not be seen by peoples regular eyes. So we took her to the vet asked if she had chiggers and he got a special dog out and had it sniff for chiggers, and what do you know he was cured. So check for chiggers, maybe that's the problem.
