Why Ames Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly bad in Ames because of the city's high humidity, averaging 71%, which creates ideal breeding grounds for these mites in lawns and parks near Iowa State University. The suburban density of Ames, with many homes on larger lots surrounded by vegetation, means chiggers can easily invade your yard. Our team understands how Ames' elevation of 942 feet and warm summers make chigger populations explode here.
