Local Context

Why Newark Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Newark because our humid summers and mild winters allow them to thrive from spring through fall. The city's suburban density, with many homes near wooded areas and the University of Delaware campus, means chiggers are common in lawns, parks, and gardens. Newark's elevation of 128 feet and consistent moisture from humidity keep chigger populations high, making professional treatment essential for relief.

One thing many Newark homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active near the University of Delaware's agricultural fields and along the Christina River basin, where humidity stays highest. Our technicians have mapped these hot spots across Newark, allowing us to predict and prevent infestations before they reach your yard.

Newark Chigger Prevention Tips

Keep your Newark lawn mowed short and remove tall weeds, as chiggers love the humid cover provided by overgrown grass in our 87°F summers. Create a dry barrier around your property by trimming back shrubs and trees, reducing the shaded, moist areas where chiggers thrive in Newark's climate. Wear long pants and use insect repellent when hiking near Newark's wooded areas, especially after rain when humidity spikes above 70%.
