Chigger Control in Westbrook, ME

Why Westbrook Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers thrive in Westbrook's high humidity—averaging 70%—and our elevation of 75 feet keeps moisture close to the ground, especially near the Presumpscot River. The suburban density of Westbrook, with its mix of lawns and wooded lots, provides ideal chigger habitats in tall grass and leaf litter. That's why chiggers are a persistent problem here, and why you need local expertise to tackle them.

Westbrook Chigger Prevention

Keep your Westbrook lawn mowed short and remove leaf litter, especially after summer rains, to reduce chigger hiding spots. Create a dry barrier of gravel or wood chips between wooded areas and your yard, as chiggers avoid low-humidity zones. Wear long pants and use DEET repellent when hiking Westbrook's trails near the river, where chiggers are most active in late afternoon.
