Chigger Removal in Midlothian

A pleasant stroll or hike around Midlothian can be a fun experience, but it’s not without its dangers. Chiggers are minuscule insects that wait in long grass for an animal or human to walk past. They then latch on, eating skin cells and leaving behind itchy red bites.

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. 

If you think chiggers are present on your Midlothian, TX property, contact Sureguard Termite and Pest Services.

Safe Chigger Control Services

When a chigger attaches itself to you, it’ll feed on skin cells until it’s ready to reproduce. When you get home to your backyard, the insect leaps onto fresh grass to deposit its eggs. These then hatch into more chiggers that can latch onto you again while you’re playing or pottering in the yard. Chigger bites are irritating and can get infected.
