Having had Lyme disease three times, and chiggers so bad I had to get steroid shots, I finally found the answer. You can buy Repel Permanone at Walmart or Sawyer Clothing Insect Repellent at Dick's, and it is the answer. Just spray it over all the clothing you're going to wear, let it dry, and I guarantee you won't have a tick on you no matter how bad they are. It's made with Permethrin, and ticks and chiggers die on contact. After you have applied it to your clothing, all your clothing, you can wash the clothes up to 6 times and it still works. It has very little scent, isn't nasty like repellents on your skin, and works like nothing I've ever seen. It sells for about $8.00 per can, and it'll last you for about 4 complete clothes coatings. Wish I had found it years ago. Hope this helps.
