    Chiggers are little devilish insects that will eat you alive if given the opportunity...

    Just a small correction -- chiggers are mites NOT insects (the 6 legs in the pic causes understandable confusion) They attach to the host, inject digestive enzymes into the bite wound, and then suck up the digested tissue.

    John, I don't have a chigger prob here in the great white north but neither does spanish moss grow up here. Folks I know who live down south who would otherwise be willing to send me some warned me of the chigger problem.
