Yea I am back in the south again! Moved from Iowa to Little Rock ARK and its a shocker! I got into chiggers first day and killed a 3 ft cotton mouth the second! Oh well all is well and its nice to be back in the south. Just wished we had fire ants here to kill of the darn chiggers!

Welcome back to the South. Give me your address and I will send you some fire ants to combat you ticks and chiggers. Have plenty of both here so I won't miss any :-). Bob

well I had recovered from the ;last attack but went back in the woods

and they got me agani worse this time and I had a lotion made with sulfur called chiggaway all over my legs with boots on covered in off. I look like I stepped into one of those Fireant balls you see when it floods

any how I dont know what to do the chiggers are just too much. I heard today from my boss that lady's panty hose would keep them off

thinking it was a Joke I asked around and got the same answer from several folks. Dont wanna but if I go scouting again I am gonna put on the garments plus the lotion plus the new OFF I got (deep woods 40% deet) also will be duct taping my jeans to my boots and will re apply ever 30 minswith the OFF. Any tips????

Oh and I am very used to the fire ants. they dont bug me much
