Local Context

Why Newport News Homes Need Chigger Control

Chiggers are particularly bad in Newport News because our high humidity—averaging 72%—and low elevation of just 15 feet create ideal breeding conditions in the dense vegetation common in urban neighborhoods. The city's proximity to the James River and shipyard areas means more moisture-retaining soil, which chiggers love, so homeowners here face a higher risk of infestations in their lawns and gardens.

One thing many Newport News homeowners don't realize is that chiggers are most active near the shipyard's green spaces and along the Warwick Boulevard corridor, where the combination of urban density and unmaintained lots creates perfect chigger habitats—so if you live near these areas, you're at higher risk.
