whitmore lake 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.

silverfish control in whitmore lake

Silverfish love cool, damp, dark environments. Their unique name comes from their reflective silver or gray color and their similar shape to a fish.

Silverfish eat carbohydrates like sugars and starches. In homes and businesses, they commonly damage or destroy items made out of paper like books, magazines and photographs. They’ll also eat certain kinds of glue such as wallpaper paste.

Silverfish are mainly nocturnal, and active throughout the year. While they are an extremely common pest in small numbers, if left unchecked they can multiply rapidly in the right (damp) conditions and infest large commercial properties like entire apartment buildings!

Silverfish are one of more than 30+ Michigan pests covered on our season Pest Free Guarantee™ service plan. Call us today to learn more and get your free quote!

carpenter ant control in whitmore lake

Carpenter ants are a common pest in and around Whitmore Lake. These large ants can cause serious damage to a property by chewing tunnels through the wood that makes up its structure.

While carpenter ants like to start their activity in wood that’s been damaged by water (like the wood around kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor faucets) they can eventually start damaging healthy wood as well.

Because they can cause significant property damage over time, carpenter ants are the most serious pest of any ant species in Michigan.

If you’re worried you may have carpenter ants, don’t worry! We specialize in carpenter ants and our popular year-round Pest Free Guarantee™ service plan includes full coverage for carpenter ants (and more than 30 other common Michigan pests).

spider control in whitemore lake

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.
