Why Dover Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly bad in Dover because our humid summers and elevation of just 59 feet keep moisture levels high, especially in areas near the Cocheco River and older mill neighborhoods. The suburban density of Dover, with its 33,000 residents and median home value of $380,000, means many properties have shaded lawns and overgrown borders where chiggers hide. This combination of climate and landscape makes Dover a hotspot for chigger infestations, requiring a specialized approach to keep your family bite-free.

Dover Chigger Prevention Tips
Keep your lawn mowed short and trim back vegetation along the Cocheco River and wooded property lines to reduce chigger habitats in Dover's humid climate. Create a dry barrier of gravel or wood chips around play areas and gardens, as chiggers avoid the low-moisture zones common in Dover's suburban yards. Wear long pants and use DEET-based repellents when hiking or gardening near Dover's riverbanks and shaded lots, especially during the humid summer months.
