Local Context

Why Essex Junction Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly problematic in Essex Junction due to the combination of high humidity and the area's suburban density, which provides ample habitat in lawns, gardens, and wooded edges. The elevation of 344 feet and the region's clay-rich soils retain moisture, allowing chigger populations to flourish from late spring through early fall. Without professional treatment, these tiny mites can turn your Essex Junction property into an itchy nightmare for your family and pets.

βœ“One thing many Essex Junction 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 the former IBM plant. Our local technicians have observed that chigger populations spike in Essex Junction after wet summers, particularly in yards with dense ground cover like ivy or pachysandra.
