Does anyone know how to get chiggers out of a pasture. I'm afraid to use chemicals since our cows & horses are grazing out there. You can't walk across the field with out paying for it the next week!

Something my great grandparents and grandparents did once chiggers were on you, was to take a vinegar bath. I don't know the precise measurements, just pour a good amount in the water with you and wash off...works every time.
Also, I read the post about the using powdered sulphur as a deterrent. I am definitely going to try that...Thanks.

I was always told that its not the chiggers that itch but there teath that they leave embedded.
