What are the signs of a chigger infestation?
Signs of a chigger infestation include itchy, red welts on your skin, particularly in areas where clothing fits tightly, such as around the waist, ankles, and armpits. Chiggers are tiny, red mites that are difficult to see with the naked eye. You may also notice chiggers on your skin or clothing after spending time in grassy or wooded areas.
If you suspect a chigger infestation, prompt action is essential. Magna Pest Solutions offers a free inspection as part of our comprehensive chigger control program. Our trained professionals can quickly identify the extent of the infestation and provide targeted treatments to eliminate these pests from your home.

When are chigger invasions likely to occur?
Chigger invasions are most likely to occur during the warm months of spring and summer when they are most active. During these times, chiggers are more likely to be found in grassy and wooded areas and can easily attach to people and pets.
