Why Shelton Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly problematic in Shelton due to the combination of high humidity and proximity to the Housatonic River, which keeps vegetation moist and perfect for mite larvae. The suburban density of Shelton, with many homes backing up to wooded lots or parks, means chiggers easily migrate from wild areas into your lawn. Our Shelton chigger specialists know that the 98-foot elevation and summer humidity create a persistent chigger season from late spring through early fall.
