Solidified Pest Control is here to answer these questions and more.

What Pests are Common in Ann Arbor?

Ann Arbor is home to a large population of pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, and beetles. You might also notice bees, wasps, hornets, or flies. Michigan’s four-season weather leads to an increase in pest activity during the fall and spring months. However, even during the off months, some pests may still be present in your house.

When To Call in Professional Pest Control Services

One of the most common questions we get is – “When should I contact a pest control professional?” The answer is – at the first signs of a pest infestation or damage in your home. Sure, a few ants outside aren’t a big deal, and neither are a few spiders in your backyard. But, if you notice more pests coming indoors, you may have an infestation. Home DIY methods may get rid of a few pests here and there, but don’t usually get rid of pest infestations. Some pests can be extremely destructive, too, so the longer you wait, the more they’ll cause damage.

Prevention Tips for Pests in Michigan

Keep pests away from your home with the following tips:

• Cover bare soil with as much mulch as possible.
• Keep tree branches trimmed and away from your home.
• Direct downspouts down and away from your home.
• Keep your yard free of debris.
• Schedule regular pest control prevention services.
• Call in a professional at the first signs of an infestation.
• Seal all door and window cracks.
• Keep garbage secured and stored both inside and outdoors.
