You might not have heard of chiggers, but they could be closer than you think. These microscopic monsters leap onto human or animal hosts as we enjoy the long grass of Carrollton’s pleasant parks. Once attached, chiggers can easily spread to your backyard.
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.
Concerned that chiggers might be present in your Carrollton, TX backyard? Call Sureguard Termite and Pest Services.
Comprehensive Chigger Eradication
While attached to their hosts, chiggers feed on skin cells. If you develop a rash of itchy red bumps, you might have been bitten by a chigger. Once satiated, these insects drop into nearby grass to lay their eggs. If chiggers spread to your backyard, a self-sustaining infestation can quickly develop. This uncomfortable cycle allows the chiggers to keep feeding on you and your family.
