Chigger Control in Scranton, PA

Why Scranton Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are especially problematic in Scranton due to our high humidity and elevation of 745 feet, which keeps moisture in the air and soil. With a population of 76,000 living in dense urban areas, chiggers easily spread from unmaintained lots to your property, turning a simple walk in the backyard into an itchy nightmare. Our local conditions mean chigger populations explode in late summer, so Scranton homeowners need proactive treatment to stay protected.

Scranton Chigger Prevention

Keep grass cut short in Scranton’s humid summers to reduce chigger hiding spots, especially near wooded areas. Clear leaf litter and brush from your yard, as Scranton’s high moisture levels make these piles prime chigger habitats. Apply a barrier treatment around your property’s perimeter in early July, when Scranton’s chigger season peaks with the summer heat.

Scranton’s history as a coal mining hub left many properties with disturbed soils and overgrown edges, which chiggers love—our technicians often find heavy infestations near old mine shafts and wooded lots that other pest control companies miss.
