Well, I’ve had about 1 day so far since the first day of Spring on Tuesday, that it didn’t feel like mid-summer instead. I’ve already pulled a tiny tick from its biting location, have seen a snake or two around the property, and have closed windows and turned on the A/C to combat heavy pollen.

Time to check my Neem supply for 2012…

There is a Botanical Outdoor Spray. You’ll want a bottle of this on hand if you plan to do any walking, hiking, working in weeded areas, in fact, for almost anything you do that puts you in or around tall grass. If you don’t use one of these products beforehand, chiggers WILL find you.

If you prefer, there is also a gel product – same effectiveness.

If you get chiggers – sometimes they come out earlier than anyone can predict, apply the Neem gel or spray – immediately! It may take a day or two, but it will kill the chiggers and keep them from spreading everywhere.

I posted a product article and link on this in May 2011 so things are happening earlier this year due to the warmer-than-usual temperatures. This year I’m posting in March. In June and July last year, many people were out looking for a product to repel chiggers – too late for most unfortunately.

Shipping is fast from Neem Tree Farms, but don’t push your luck. The product is around $14 per bottle and worth having at your home – before you need it.

Don’t forget your pets! CoCo has, in the DBN, (Days Before Neem) experienced a bad itching attack that I KNOW was chiggers! If you’re taking your dog with you on walks and hikes, don’t forget to protect them as well with Neem Pet Care.

TGIF!

No doubt about it – it’s bug time.

For those of us who spend more of our time in a country environment than walking city streets, ticks, chiggers, and other warm-weather “annoyers” are out and ready to invade these beautiful Spring and Summer days.

Be ready this year by getting yourself some Neem products. I like the spray for quick walks and the gel for garden working days. Good for your skin, won’t poison while protecting you and most importantly, they work. This is the ONLY product I’ve used in the past ten years that keeps chiggers away.

These will be great products for hikers. Throw a bottle in your backpack and you won’t have to worry about these aggravating, biting little insects that can make for a miserable week if they find you.

I’ve been using Neem products from Neem Tree Farms for years. You can trust the products and the company.

If you’re taking your dog with you on walks and hikes, don’t forget to protect them as well with Neem Pet Care.
