Chigger Control in Tigard, OR

Why Tigard Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Tigard because our high humidity and moderate winter lows (36°F) allow them to survive year-round in grassy and wooded areas. The city's suburban density, with median home values around $545,000, means many properties have lush lawns and gardens that harbor chiggers near homes. Without targeted treatment, these pests can turn a backyard barbecue into a nightmare of bites.
