Three lifers escaped from a fed max prison here in eastern OK some time in the '70s era. All three convicts weren't familiar with these pests.
After almost 3 weeks in the woods/fields all three gave up.....covered with ticks and mostly chigger bits. One with his eyes were almost swollen shut.
I have 40 acres with the house in the center.
Ticks and chiggers are just part of every day life in warm weather. My kids/grandkids and great grand kids use spray products made for that purpose.
The last 10-12 years I haven't been bothered with ticks but I eat a lot of Jalapeno's. I also keep about 5 acres mowed real short around the house.
But I do have to spray for chiggers if I have to get out in the weeds/brush in my pasture.....and take a quick bath when I've finished work.
I can live with snakes/ticks/spiders but chigger bits are the devil to live with for a week or so.
Everyone has their favorite product to help deal with ticks and chiggers. Some work better than others.
