The way we get rid of them is to take some bleach and pour it into a tub of water and soak in it. I usually take and rub the bleach on the area before hand for a little bit before getting in the tub of water and bleach mixture.
You just got to be careful with the straight bleach on the skin, because it will burn the skin if you are not careful.
Another method that some use is to take clear fingernail polish and put it directly on the spots where the chiggers (Red-Bugs) are and let it dry. It will kill the little boogers out, giving you some relief.
Still, if you are smart you will spray some off on your legs and around your waist line before going into any high weeds, otherwise I will be saying "I told ya so"!
