Local Context

Why Hempstead Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Hempstead because of the city's high humidity—averaging 68%—combined with its urban density, which creates pockets of overgrown vegetation in parks and backyards. The low elevation of 56 feet and mild winters (average low 27°F) allow chigger populations to survive year-round, making Hempstead a hotspot for these pests from spring through fall. With 79,000 residents and many homes valued around $440,000, protecting your Hempstead property from chiggers is essential for maintaining both comfort and property value.

✓One thing many Hempstead homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active near Hofstra University's wooded trails and in the dense shrubbery along residential streets—especially after a summer rain. Our local pros have mapped these hotspots over years of service, so we know exactly where to treat for the best results in Hempstead.
