Local Context

Why Wauwatosa Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Wauwatosa because our 72% humidity and elevation of 669 feet create ideal breeding grounds in the dense vegetation around homes and parks. The suburban density of Wauwatosa, with its many wooded lots and proximity to the Milwaukee County Zoo, means chiggers have plenty of hosts and habitats to multiply. Without targeted treatment, these microscopic mites can turn your backyard into an itchy nightmare during our long, humid summers.

One thing many Wauwatosa homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the late afternoon when humidity peaks, which is exactly when families are out enjoying their yards near the medical center or local parks. Our local technicians have observed that chigger populations spike after wet springs in Wauwatosa, making early-season treatment crucial for preventing summer outbreaks.
