[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 531426, member: 1233"] You can get chggers by sitting down outside. They can crawl up grass or onto a wooden deck or even go through a blanket or towel if you are sitting in one outside. You can also get them walking around a yard or in the woods. I had always heard that keeping your yard trimmed and mowed would go a long way to getting rid of them, but the soccer fields and parks here ae very very well mantained and they still fought thm like crazy until we got some of the entomologists to treat the area (professonal pest control company). I know a few weeks ago you were asking about a professional service to treat your yard. Most will do a free analysis and then pitch you their care program. This would probably give you a good idea of what types of bugs you have (be sure to show them the bug bites as good pest care people can identify them from that also.) and also ask about the specific signs/evidence of the pests they say that your yard has. Be sure to find out the qualifications of the person doing the evaluation and if they use natural products or not. Many insects can be killed with natural products that don't hurt the environment or people. You can also do some research on teh use of Neem oil as an insecticide. We have had excellent results for years and it is very safe to use. heck, it is one of teh latest big beauty products because the oil is good for your skin. I saw it in a cream for cracked heels and had to google it to see if it was the same neem oil that I use for insect control including head lice when that goes around. it is the same thing, has been used for thousands of years, and is very safe for humans and animals.
