I'm already feeding the chiggers out there! What's y'alls best way to keep clean from these pesty bugs? I sprayed down with 3 different items and still got chiggers.

Bingo! I too mix my own permethrin and have a dedicated pair of old jeans and tee shirt I use when checking cameras and early season hunting. Cannt remember last time I had chiggers or found a tick.fairchaser":1rvl3n06 said:I keep a spray bottle of permethrin in the truck and spray down my clothes each time I go out. Since it has a cumulative effect it does the trick. I rarely have a tick or get a chigger bite.

Thanks goes out to Catman!!!!
I do pretty much exactly what Andy does. I treat all my clothes as well as the inside of each pant leg bottom and along the waistline. I make sure I also treat my socks and shoes too.Andy S.":14f4e37k said:Permethrin! Treat ALL articles of clothing the night before so it has time to dry and provide maximum protection. I also treat the insides of my waistline and first 6" from leg openings just in case they get past the exterior Permethrin barrier, which rarely happens these days.

Haven't had a tick in years and chiggers are only on hands/wrists outside of the sleeve. I also spray my boots before hunting. I actually watched a tick on one of my rubber boots crawl around and die!
It is 5% Permithrin and water based...orderless.
Here is Walmart's price:
