Local Context

Why Lewiston Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly problematic in Lewiston because our 70% humidity and 217-foot elevation create ideal breeding grounds in the city's urban green spaces, from Bates College lawns to residential backyards. The dense urban density of Lewiston means chiggers can easily spread from parks to nearby homes, especially in the moist, shaded areas that are common here. Without targeted treatment, these pests can make outdoor activities miserable for Lewiston families throughout the summer.

βœ“One thing many Lewiston homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the late afternoon and early evening, which is exactly when families are enjoying their yards after work. Our local expertise shows that chigger populations spike in Lewiston after rainy periods, particularly in the low-lying areas near the Androscoggin River. This insider knowledge allows us to time our treatments for maximum effectiveness in Lewiston.
