Why State College Homes Need Chigger Control
Chiggers are particularly bad in State College due to the combination of high humidity and the area's suburban density, which leaves plenty of transitional zones between lawns and woodlands. The elevation of 1,155 feet and average winter lows of 21°F don't kill off chigger populations, as they overwinter in protected spots and emerge aggressively in spring. In State College, where outdoor living is a staple near Penn State, chigger infestations can turn a simple hike or backyard barbecue into a miserable experience.

Chigger Control Cost in State College
One thing many State College homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active in the transition zones between mowed lawns and taller vegetation, like the edges of the many wooded lots near campus and residential areas. Our local expertise shows that treating these specific boundary areas in late spring, just after the last frost, dramatically reduces chigger populations for the entire season.
