First, eat a lot of garlic. Neither ticks nor chiggers are fond of garlic
flavored people.
Next, ticks almost always attach to your clothes first then creep their way
to choicer spots. When you've been in the woods, brush yourself down or shake your clothes out and it will eliminate most ticks.
Chiggers coincide with peppermint (which we have in weed-like over
abundance). When we are going to be in the grass or weeds, we grab a handfull of peppermint and rub our legs with it.
All of those help. But one still gets some ticks and chiggers. Weighed
against staying out of the woods and fields in warm, bright weather, it's a small price.
