Local Context

Why Athens Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Athens because our high humidity and warm temperatures allow them to reproduce rapidly from spring through fall. The city's mix of urban green spaces, like those around the University of Georgia campus, and residential yards with tall grass or leaf litter provide ideal habitats for chigger larvae to latch onto hosts. With a median home value of $285,000, many Athens properties have landscaped yards that require targeted treatment to keep chiggers away from your family and pets.

One thing many Athens homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active after heavy summer rains, which we get frequently due to our subtropical climate—they climb up grass blades and wait for a host, often near popular walking trails like those in Sandy Creek Park. Our local expertise means we know exactly where to treat, from the edges of your lawn to the base of shrubs, to stop chiggers before they bite.
