About our service
Pest control for Detroit, MI
Detroit has about 645,700 residents, and the pest work we see here changes a lot from one block to the next. Single-family houses, apartment buildings, shops and community spaces all sit close together, and each one gives pests a slightly different way in. Areas such as Boston Edison, North End, New Center and Conant Gardens each have their own mix of buildings and yards, so a plan that works on one street may need adjusting on the next.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control and termite control for Detroit homes and businesses, along with a careful pest inspection when you are not sure what is causing the trouble. We use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and we can talk through natural pest control options for your situation. Nothing here ties you down for years, because our service comes with no long-term contract, and you can begin with a free quote.

Pests we treat around Detroit
Pests in Detroit
What we deal with most around Detroit, MI
Mice and other rodents are a steady concern in a city this size, especially in older basements, garages and shared walls where a small gap is enough to get inside. Cockroaches show up in the kitchens and bathrooms of apartments and houses alike, and they spread through pipes and wall voids, so one unit's problem can become the whole building's problem. Carpenter ants and termites go after damp or damaged wood around porches, sills and foundations.
Warm months bring mosquitoes, wasps and spiders around the many parks and yards, while ticks are worth watching for near tall grass and wooded edges. Late in the year, boxelder bugs and stink bugs cluster on sunny walls before slipping indoors to wait out the cold. Bed bugs are also a reality anywhere that people come and go often, and early bed bug treatment keeps them from spreading. For most Detroit properties, steady prevention beats waiting for a problem to grow.
Weather and pests
How Detroit's weather affects pest activity
The figures in this section are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with average highs near 84 degrees, and January is the coldest, with average lows around 19. A typical year brings about 35 inches of precipitation, and May is the wettest month at roughly 3.7 inches.
Cold matters most for pests here. The area sees about 125 nights a year at or below freezing, and that long stretch pushes mice, rats and overwintering insects to look for warm gaps in garages, crawl spaces and attics. Sealing openings around pipes, vents and door sweeps before the first hard freeze is one of the most effective things a homeowner can do.
Summer is not quiet either. About 17 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and the wet stretch in May leaves standing water in gutters, buckets and low spots where mosquitoes breed. Emptying that water weekly, keeping firewood away from the house and trimming shrubs back from siding all help through the warm season.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Detroit
Ant treatment in Detroit
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Detroit, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Detroit
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Detroit buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Detroit
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Detroit home is built.
Cockroach control in Detroit
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Detroit apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Detroit
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Detroit
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Detroit. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
