The problem
Mite Control That Gets to the Source
Mites are tiny relatives of spiders, and there are many kinds. Some feed on plants, some on birds or rodents, and some, like chiggers, bite people in the yard.
Getting the identification right matters, because a bird mite problem from a nest in the eaves needs a very different fix than chiggers in the lawn.
Signs of mites
- Itchy bites after time in the yard
- Tiny red or moving specks on surfaces
- Activity near a bird or rodent nest
- Mites on window sills or walls
- Speckled or damaged plant leaves
Why here
Why Mites Are So Common in Louisiana
Warm weather and thick vegetation keep mites active for much of the year in Louisiana. Bird and rodent mites often show up after the host animal leaves a nest near or inside the home.

How we treat it
Our Mite Control Process
Identification
We figure out which mite you have and where it's coming from.
Source removal
Removing bird or rodent nests when they're the cause.
Yard treatment
Exterior treatment for chiggers and other outdoor mites.
Interior treatment
Targeted treatment where mites are getting inside.
Mite treatment depends on the type and source, so we quote it after identifying the mite. Yard treatments are also available as a one-time YardShielding service. See pest control for plans and details.
Are chiggers mites?
Yes. Chiggers are mite larvae that live in grass and brush and leave itchy bites around ankles and waistbands.
Why are mites in my house?
Often a bird or rodent nest nearby was abandoned and the mites went looking for a new host.
Can you treat my yard for chiggers?
Yes. A yard treatment reduces chiggers and other outdoor mites.
Do I need to remove the nest?
If birds or rodents are the source, removing the nest is part of solving the problem. We can handle that too.
