When you put nail polish on the bites it suffocates the chigger and they die.
They burrow in, biting.
When I was little and played in the sand in SC I used to get bites and mom would always put nail polish on.
Hope this info helps. I would be hesitant about treating your yard, though -
Our babies are so close to the ground they can be overcome by fumes and poisons, etc. really fast.
Good Luck!
