Why Portland Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly problematic in Portland due to our dense urban greenery and high humidity, which allows them to flourish from late spring through early fall. With an elevation of just 62 feet and proximity to the coast, our moist environment keeps chigger populations active longer than in drier regions, turning your backyard into a hotspot for these microscopic mites.

Create a dry barrier of wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and your Portland home to discourage chiggers from migrating into your yard.
