Local Context

Why Des Moines Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are especially problematic in Des Moines because the city’s high humidity and moderate elevation of 837 feet support dense vegetation where these mites flourish. With an urban density that leaves many yards shaded and moist, Des Moines properties often become chigger hotspots from late spring through early fall. Our targeted treatments are designed to tackle these local conditions head-on.

Many Des Moines homeowners don’t realize that chiggers are most active near the city’s many parks and greenways, like Gray’s Lake Park, where the combination of shade and moisture creates ideal habitats. Our local pros know exactly where to focus treatments to keep these pests off your property.
