As a kid growing up in southwest Louisiana, we were constantly in the woods and fields. Chiggers everywhere.
In our small town there was a pine stump processing plant,(pure pine oil).
Soak in a hot tub with a small amount of oil and problem solved.
Plant moved to Florida, no more oil here. (It's like pine-sol but pure)

Thank you to everyone who recommended Listerine!! I have probably two hundred bites on my legs and ankles. I tried cortisone cream, baking soda paste, calamine lotion, oral Benedryl, and benzocaine - nothing helped. The Listerine took the itch away in minutes! My doctor thought it was a riot and my legs smell minty fresh!!

First of all take a warm shower and use lots of soap, that should get the chiggers off. Then, apply an itch cream. Rub it in good then apply Listerine mouthwash, it will sting, but it should help. When it itches again do the steps over. DO NOT SCRATCH THEM

Chiggers? Just keep Sage in your garden and dry some for the winter. For Bug bite just chew a sage leaf just enough to break it and get it wet. Apply to the bite. Hold on place with a piece of tape. It normally will be gone in a few minutes.

We moved to Kansas last year after 33 years in Alaska and boy did I discover chiggers quick! Or I guess they discovered me. Last summer was miserable, but this summer is the worst. I'm sure grateful I'm retired because I'm losing a lot of sleep because of the itching.
We live out in the country and I'm getting the bites from just being in our yard (I'm ready to pave everything). I've tried maximum strength anti-itch cream, hydrocortisone cream, calendula ointment, benedryl pills (can't wake up), a homeopathic product, my doctor suggested Calmoseptine, ice and who knows what else. Some of these helped a little but within a short time I was ripping at the bites again. One thing that lasted for a while but offered a different type of pain and I felt was completely worth it was Dr. Scholl's FREEZE Away Wart Remover. I'm telling you, I was a desperate woman!
This year I lucked out and found a product called 'CHIGG AWAY' 'The Soldier's Choice' www.chiggaway.com I found it at our local pharmacy and was stunned at how well it works. I got relief within 30 seconds and depending on how bad the bite has gotten, the relief lasts anywhere from 8 to 12 hours. It has 5% Benzocaine and sulfur in it. I put it on a larger area surrounding the bites so when the little bugger is ready to move somewhere else, I have it covered.
It's not perfect, but it's the best thing I've found so far. However I will be trying some of the ideas I read about from all of you wonderful folks. Thanks for the ideas and best of luck to all of you.

I had about 50 chigger bites, and the best remedy for me was rubbing alcohol, and clear nail polish. I also swam and spent time outside in the sun, and think that this all helped heal and bring the swelling down. After one day of the clear nailpolish solution, they had greatly diminished, and did not itch at all. While the red bites still existed for awhile, they did not spread, flattened, and did not itch. I swear by the clear nail polish solution.
