spider control in farmington hills

Venomous or not, spiders are one of the most feared pests commonly found in homes. From wolf spiders to hobo spiders to black widow spiders to brown recluse spiders to house spiders, these pests are never welcome guests.

Without professional pest control, keeping spiders out of your home is very difficult to do. These critters have no trouble finding openings into your house and making themselves feel right at home.

Spiders are drawn to houses that can provide:

• Shelter: Spiders escape extreme weather conditions by hiding away in dark corners, basements, crawlspaces, and attics.

• Mates: During mating season, males will enter your home in search of mates.

• Food: Other pests are spiders’ main source of food, so they will come into a home if they know there are plenty of other pests there.

farmington hills termite control

Costing billions of dollars’ worth of damage each year, termites are every homeowner’s worst nightmare. Since they are often hidden away within the structure of a home, they can be there for years before a homeowner finally discovers them. The three types of termites are subterranean, drywood, and dampwood. All in search of wood, termites have the potential to cause extensive, irreversible damage to your home.

Things that attract termites include:

• Excess foliage

• Piles of wood

• Dead or decaying trees

• Mulch

• Cellulose material

• Clogged gutters

• Warm, dark places

• Moist soil

If you notice winged ants, mud tubes, wings that have been shed, or structural damage to your home, you might be facing a termite infestation.

black-legged tick control in farmington hills

Black-legged ticks are a common pest in Farmington Hills because they live predominantly in forested areas. These ticks generally stay active as long as the daytime temperature remains above freezing.

Adult females readily attack humans and pets. In addition, both nymph and adult stages of black-legged ticks carry multiple diseases.

Be wary of black-legged ticks if you spend time in and around Heritage Park. The easiest ways to avoid picking up these unwelcome pests is to make sure your legs are fully covered by your socks, pants or leggings during any outdoor activities, and to check your clothing after you’re finished to make sure no ticks have hitched a ride.

Silverfish can be found throughout the year in many Farmington Hills homes. In addition to homes, they are also often found in libraries and museums because they like to eat paper and fabrics.
