Local Context

Why Scarborough Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Scarborough because our 72% humidity and 43-foot elevation keep grass and brush damp well into summer, providing perfect habitats for larvae. The suburban density of Scarborough means chiggers easily move from wooded lots to manicured lawns, especially near the Maine Mall's green spaces. Without targeted treatment, these pests can turn your Scarborough property into an itchy nightmare for your family and pets.

One thing many Scarborough homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the transition zones between mowed lawns and wooded areas—exactly the kind of edge habitat found near the Maine Mall's parking lots and our suburban backyards. I've seen infestations spike after rainy springs, when our clay-rich soil holds moisture longer than in other parts of Maine.
