Chigger Control in Dover, NH

Why Dover Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Dover because of the city's high humidity and low elevation of 59 feet, which keeps moisture close to the ground in suburban yards and wooded areas. The dense vegetation along the Cocheco River and in Dover's many parks creates ideal habitats for chigger larvae to latch onto unsuspecting residents. With a median home value of $380,000, Dover homeowners invest in their properties—don't let chiggers ruin your outdoor living space.

Dover Chigger Prevention

Keep your grass mowed short and trim back brush in Dover's humid climate to reduce chigger hiding spots near your home. Create a dry barrier with gravel or wood chips around play areas and garden beds, as chiggers avoid low-humidity zones in Dover's suburban yards. Wear long pants and use repellent when hiking near the Cocheco River or in Dover's wooded parks during peak chigger season from late spring to early fall.
