Haven't seen one this year:thumbsup:

That's cuz yours are vacationing over this way! I was doing a job walk three weeks ago, went to dinner and got home late...and didn't shower. The reward for my carelessness...259 bites from my feet to you-don't-wanna-no-where. At least that was the number when my wife got tired of counting. Worst EVER!

Sulfur dust keeps 98% of them off of your skin. Dust shoes, ankles, socks, pants up to your knees.

Chiggers are numerous, and ticks are "thick"... None of them talk, as far as I know.

I do not remember ever having my ankles itch as much as it seems they do this year.
Is it me just getting older or are they really bad this year?

I was wondering the same thing. I have been bitten several times. bad part is, you don't know it until you start to itch. I started using off insect spray with deet and, it has kept them off. We had a cold winter, but it didn't seem to kill any bugs. Especially the chiggers. To say I hate them more than anything, would be an under statement
