Why Ames Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly bad in Ames due to the city's 71% humidity and elevation of 942 feet, which create ideal breeding conditions in suburban lawns and parks. The dense population of 67,000 residents, combined with Ames' sprawling suburban density, means chiggers spread quickly from infested properties to neighboring yards, especially near the research fields and green spaces.

Ames Chigger Prevention Tips
Keep your grass cut short in Ames, as chiggers love the tall, moist blades that thrive in our humid summers. Create a dry barrier around your yard by trimming back bushes and trees, reducing the shaded areas where chiggers hide in Ames' suburban landscapes. Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes when walking near Iowa State University's research fields or wooded trails, and shower immediately after to wash off any chiggers before they bite.

Chigger Control Cost in Ames
One thing many Ames homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the early morning and late evening, especially after a rain—common in our humid continental climate—so we schedule treatments to hit them when they're most vulnerable, giving you better results than standard pest control.
