I also use the clear nail polish, and it works. Something about smothering the chiggers. I have used the bleach before, and it seems to take the itch away, but I make sure that it is NOT the non-chlorine bleach. That works good on poison ivy also. Basically it's the same as taking a long dip in a swimming pool.

I've been walking in the woods and prairies with my camera for a couple of hours a day, and I must have brushed up against a chigger hotel a couple of weeks ago...
They head for places you really don't want to itch in public.
Nail polish took care of them. There is something called Chiggerid but I have never used it.
