Burleson has plenty of enjoyable parks, but walking through the swaying grass can expose you to hidden dangers. Microscopic monsters called chiggers wait for you to walk past before leaping onto you. Unknowingly, you then carry these bugs back home, allowing an infestation to develop.

Chiggers are the immature stage of mites; they are more closely related to spiders than insects. Chiggers do not burrow into skin or suck blood. They pierce the skin with their mouthparts. Itching starts about 3 hours after the initial bite, the area then turns red.

To clear your Burleson, TX backyard from critters like chiggers, call Sureguard Termite and Pest Services.

After attaching themselves to a victim, chiggers will bite into the skin to consume cells. This creates a spread of itchy bites that look like red bumps. Once they’ve feasted, chiggers then find the nearest tussock of grass to lay their eggs. This is how a chigger infestation can spread quickly.
