Chigger Control in Olympia, WA

Why Olympia Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers thrive in Olympia's consistently damp conditions, especially in the tall grass and brush common around our 95-foot elevation neighborhoods. The city's 56,000 residents often encounter chiggers near wooded edges and moist lawns, where the humidity keeps these pests active from spring through fall. In Olympia, the combination of mild summers averaging 78°F and high moisture makes chigger populations explode, turning simple yard work into a risk.

Olympia Chigger Prevention Tips

Keep your Olympia lawn mowed short and remove leaf litter, as chiggers love the damp, shaded cover provided by our humid climate. Create a barrier of dry gravel or wood chips between your yard and wooded areas common in Olympia to reduce chigger migration. After spending time outdoors in Olympia's grassy parks or your own backyard, shower immediately and wash clothes in hot water to remove any unseen chiggers.
