Chigger Control in Green Bay, WI

Why Green Bay Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Green Bay because our 72% average humidity and 594-foot elevation create the moist, shaded environments they love, especially in the paper mill neighborhoods and around Titletown's parks. The city's urban density means chiggers thrive in the transition zones between lawns and wooded areas, where they wait to latch onto unsuspecting residents. Without professional chigger control in Green Bay, these pests can make your property unusable during the peak summer months.

Green Bay Chigger Prevention Tips

Keep your grass mowed short in Green Bay's humid summers, as chiggers love tall grass and overgrown vegetation near the Fox River. Create a barrier of gravel or wood chips between your lawn and wooded areas, which is especially effective in Green Bay's urban neighborhoods where yards meet natural habitats. Apply insect repellent containing DEET to your shoes and socks before spending time in Green Bay's parks or backyard gardens during peak chigger season from May to September.
