Local Context

Why Des Moines Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Des Moines because our humid summers and mild winters allow them to thrive from spring through fall, especially in grassy, shaded areas near homes. With an elevation of 837 feet and urban density that concentrates green spaces, Des Moines properties are prime targets for chigger infestations, making professional treatment essential.

One thing many Des Moines homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in late summer, just before the Iowa State Fair, when our humidity peaks—so scheduling treatment in early August can prevent the worst outbreaks.
