Chiggers Love Me

RE: Chiggers Love Me Post By zack (Guest Post) (04/20/2008) The best possible way to get rid of jiggers is clear nail polish. This i learned from my mom. I went into the woods and I mean 3 days later it was so bad my stomach was covered, but clear nail polish will kill them. You still get the itch or you can get this new product called jiggers gone. It works in 30 secs and it takes the bumps down.

No one (including Avon) can say exactly why this product repels insects, it does work. Find an Avon Lady who will steer you to the right product. And your skin will feel nice and the smell is very pleasant.

It was in a small bottle with a little brush and you would brush it on the bite. It had the consistency and look and even the smell of clear nail polish. So, that's what I tried and it worked just fine. No more itch. And almost everyone has clear nail polish on hand. Also, cheaper than the commercial product.

My number one choice is this: When you take a shower use lavender/lemon grass soap from Sally's Beauty Supply. When I was helping a friend pick beans. She, her husband and my son were all being bothered by bugs. I seemed to be in my "own little world" blissfully unaware that there were any bugs and realized that the lady that told me about the soap was right. Maybe it will work for chiggers too. I live in the NC piedmont area.

About 1/2-1 cup of bleach. Depending on how much water you use. That does kill the chiggers Report Spam or Abuse RE: Chiggers Love Me Post By Cheryl from Missouri (Guest Post) (08/22/2005) I have the same problem too. Part of the problem is that chiggers go toward heat. I put off alot of body heat. Also, I wear alot of fragrance and they seem to enjoy my perfume very much. If I know I'm spending much time outdoors, I don't wear perfume and try to use unscented deodorant. It also helps if I've come out from an air-conditioned house instead of a hot car.

Our family takes them before we go to outdoor parties and don't get a single chigger or mosquito bite.

ANYTHING is worth a shot to prevent a chigger attack! AND, if they work, you'll come in from gardening smelling good, too! :D Report Spam or Abuse
