Chigger Control Services in Atlanta, GA
Protect Your Home or Business From Pesky Pests
If you’ve ever come inside after yard work, a hike, or time in the grass and ended up with intensely itchy bites around ankles, waistbands, or sock lines, chiggers may be the culprit. Mosquito Squad of Greater Atlanta provides professional chigger control to help reduce chigger activity in the outdoor areas where people and pets spend the most time.
Chiggers thrive in warm weather and often concentrate in tall grass, weedy edges, leaf litter, and shaded transition zones—the exact places many yards have along fences, wooded borders, and landscaped beds. Our service focuses on those “hot spots,” so you can enjoy your property with fewer surprises after spending time outside.
Chigger Control Options Built Around Your Needs
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We start by learning where bites are happening, how your yard is used, and which parts of the property create ideal conditions for chiggers. Then we recommend a plan that fits your needs—whether you want recurring coverage through peak months or targeted support when chigger pressure is highest.
Chigger issues also tend to overlap with other outdoor pest concerns. If you’re also noticing mosquitoes, ticks, or nuisance pests around patios and entryways, we can help you build a broader outdoor pest plan that prioritizes the zones causing the most disruption first.
Common Signs of Chigger Activity
Not sure if it’s chiggers? They’re hard to spot directly, so most people identify them by when the irritation starts and where it keeps happening. Chigger issues often feel “random” at first—until you notice the same parts of the yard (or the same outdoor routine) keep leading to the same itchy aftermath.
A few clues tend to stand out:
- Itchy bites that show up hours after being outdoors, not always right away. They’re commonly concentrated around ankles, sock lines, behind knees, waistbands, or under tight-fitting clothing where chiggers can get trapped.
- Activity after time spent in tall grass, weeds, brushy borders, or shaded lawn edges, especially along fence lines, under trees, or near overgrown corners where moisture and cover hang around longer.
- More irritation after yard work or time at ground level, like gardening, pulling weeds, edging, or kids/pets spending time on the grass. Walking pets through tall grass or along wooded edges can also increase exposure.
- Repeat “hot spots” on the property—for example, one side yard, a back fence line, the edge of a wooded area, a dog run, or the boundary where lawn meets shrubs/mulch. If it keeps happening in the same zones, that’s a strong indicator.
- Noticeable spikes during hot, humid stretches, especially after rain or when growth is thicker and shade keeps areas damp. That combination tends to support higher chigger pressure.
- Clusters of bites rather than a single bite, often in patches on lower legs or around clothing lines, which can make it feel like you brushed into something rather than being bitten one at a time.
If these patterns sound familiar, targeted service can help reduce the day-to-day frustration—especially by focusing on the repeat zones where activity is most likely to start.
