More than you ever wanted to know about CHIGGERS

I'm plagued with these every summer because I spend so much time outside - and my property is "natural".
I don't care how bad sulphur powder smells - I'm gonna find some.

we sulpher our yard (all 2 acres) 2x year. Yeah, it smells rotten eggish for about 24hrs but it beats dealing with the creepy critters!

I think there is one of these relatively close to you.

The Mr really reacts badly to chiggers - they make him miserable for over a month. Maybe next time I can convince him to take a benadryl or something.

Shudder. icky bugs.
