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.

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.

west bloomfield mud dauber control

Mud daubers are found where their prey (other insects and spiders) is prevalent. In West Bloomfield Twp, we see mud daubers in residential areas and around the West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve.

Mud daubers are wasps that make their nests out of mud. Adults feed on plant nectar, honeydew and the body fluids of the spiders and insects they capture. Some of the prey they capture is paralyzed instead of killed and left in their nests for their young to feed on as they develop!

Mud daubers are not generally aggressive to humans but will sting if provoked. They have a painful sting like other wasps.

All of the trees and water in West Bloomfield Twp mean that mosquitoes are a frequent nuisance at local outdoor gatherings and recreational events! Most mosquito activity happens over the summer.

Mosquitoes can breed in any form of stagnant water, including ponds, marshes, storm drains, old tires and even water in tree holes. Mosquitoes can also carry dangerous diseases, making them more serious than many common pests.
