Local Context

Why Newport News Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Newport News because of the combination of high humidity, low elevation at 15 feet, and dense urban greenery that provides ideal habitats. The city's shipbuilding heritage means many homes are near wooded or grassy areas, where chiggers thrive in the moist, shaded conditions common in Newport News.

βœ“One thing many Newport News homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active here from late spring through early fall, especially after heavy rainsβ€”our proximity to the James River and local parks means these pests can invade even well-maintained yards if not treated proactively.
