Local Context

Why Chapel Hill Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly problematic in Chapel Hill due to the combination of high humidity and moderate elevation of 486 feet, which keeps moisture levels high in lawns and gardens. The city's suburban density, with many homes bordering natural areas near UNC Chapel Hill, means chiggers easily migrate from wildlife habitats into residential yards, increasing exposure for families and pets.

One thing many Chapel Hill homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active along the edges of wooded lots near campus and the Bolin Creek Trail, where deer and rodents—their primary hosts—are abundant, so we prioritize treating these transition areas for maximum effectiveness.
