Why Des Moines Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly problematic in Des Moines because our 70% humidity and 837-foot elevation create the perfect environment for them to flourish. The city's urban density, with many homes having adjacent green spaces, allows chiggers to spread quickly from lawns to gardens. In Des Moines, the combination of hot summers and mild winters means chigger populations can persist longer than in other regions.

Des Moines Chigger Prevention Tips
Keep your Des Moines lawn mowed short and remove tall weeds, as chiggers love the humid cover provided by overgrown grass in our 86°F summers. Create a barrier of gravel or wood chips between your Des Moines yard and wooded areas to reduce chigger migration into your living space. After spending time outdoors in Des Moines, shower immediately and wash clothes in hot water to remove any chiggers before they can bite.

Chigger Control Cost in Des Moines
One thing many Des Moines homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the early morning and late evening, especially after a rain—which is common in our humid climate. I've seen infestations spike in neighborhoods near Gray's Lake Park and the Des Moines River, where the higher moisture levels create ideal breeding grounds.
