Keeping Chiggers Off

Use Chigg-Away for the best results in keeping chiggers off.

Chiggers are found in grass, gardens, pine straw and shrubs.  They are especially prevalent in blackberry and raspberry bushes, which furnish food and shelter for the bird and rodent hosts of chiggers.

  4. Apply repellent around feet, ankles, waist, and to skin under all areas of tight fitting clothing.

  5. Reapply repellant after swimming or heavy perspiration.
