Chigger Control in Bakersfield, CA

Why Bakersfield Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly problematic in Bakersfield due to our unique combination of warm temperatures and low elevation of 404 feet, which allows them to breed rapidly from spring through fall. The urban density of over 414,000 residents means more homes with lawns and gardens, providing ample habitat for chiggers to latch onto humans and pets. In Bakersfield, these tiny mites are a persistent nuisance, especially in areas with tall grass or brush near agricultural fields.

Bakersfield Chigger Prevention

Keep your lawn mowed short in Bakersfield's dry summers to reduce chigger hiding spots in tall grass and weeds. Create a barrier of gravel or wood chips between your yard and adjacent agricultural fields, common near Bakersfield's outskirts. Apply insect repellent containing DEET to shoes and pants before gardening or hiking in Bakersfield's brushy areas.
