Pest Control in Michigan

Weather differs from one part of Michigan to another. Across the communities we serve, July highs average roughly 82°F, ranging from about 75 to 86°F, while January lows average near 16°F. A typical year brings roughly 35 inches of precipitation, from about 21 inches in the driest of our cities to about 42 in the wettest, and about 142 nights a year at or below freezing. These figures are climate averages from local weather records for 311 cities, so they describe the pattern, not a forecast.

Michigan has four distinct seasons, with a long, snowy winter and warm, humid summers. Deep freezes drive rodents and overwintering insects toward buildings for months, while wet, humid stretches in summer bring mosquitoes and ants.

In a climate like this, the best prevention happens before the first hard freeze: seal gaps, clear leaves and stacked wood from the foundation, and set up monitoring in basements and garages. In summer, clearing standing water and repairing screens goes a long way.
