Local Context

Why Gainesville Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly problematic in Gainesville due to our high humidity levels averaging 74% and urban density that creates ideal habitats in parks and yards. The city's elevation of 151 feet and warm winters allow chiggers to remain active for much of the year, making Gainesville a hotspot for infestations. Without professional treatment, these pests can turn your backyard into an itchy nightmare.

βœ“One thing many Gainesville homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active during the early morning and late afternoon, especially after summer rainsβ€”common in our subtropical climate. Our local pros know that treating the perimeter of your property near wooded areas, like those around the University of Florida campus, is key to preventing re-infestation.
