Another thing that helps is to include plenty of garlic in your diet. 
There are compounds from garlic that are released through the skin that
make you much less appetizing to a wide variety of insects, mosquitoes and
chiggers included.  If you don't like the taste, or want to avoid the
problems of "deadly garlic breath", garlic supplements (sold in the
vitamin section of pharmacies, grocery stores, etc) also work quite well.
