The chigger and its control in Missouri

Abstract

"In Missouri, the. common chigger is the most troublesome pest of man during the summer months. One can scarcely venture outdoors during the chigger season without becoming infested. Tourists, particularly from the northern states, who come to the playgrounds in the Ozarks, may have some restless nights and uncomfortable days if precautions are not taken to escape its bite. While some persons may suffer only slightly from the chigger, no one is entirely free from its attack, and those with thin skin, who are especially susceptible to insect poisons, suffer most from the bites."--Page 1.
