Pests we treat around Iron Mountain
Pests in Iron Mountain
What we deal with most around Iron Mountain, MI
Rodents are the number one issue when it is this cold. Mice and rats find their way into garages, basements and crawl spaces at the first hard frost, and they stay until spring if nothing stops them. Cluster flies, boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on south-facing walls in fall and slip through tiny cracks around windows and siding.
The warm months are short, but pests make good use of them. Mosquitoes hatch after the spring melt, ticks wait in tall grass and brush, and carpenter ants excavate wood that has been damp too long. Spiders and wasps build around porches, sheds and the sunny edges of buildings, so summer checks of the exterior are still worthwhile.
Weather and pests
How Iron Mountain's weather affects pest activity
The figures in this section are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide and not a forecast. Iron Mountain has a hard winter, with January lows averaging about 6 degrees and about 187 nights a year at or below freezing. July highs average 80 degrees, with about 6 days reaching 90 degrees or higher.
Precipitation is modest, at about 21 inches of precipitation in a typical year. June is the wettest month at 3.0 inches. Even so, moisture around foundations, in gutters and under decks is enough to attract carpenter ants, and a spring thaw can leave crawl spaces damp long after the snow has gone.
With more than half the nights of the year at or below freezing, the fall exterior check is the most important date on the calendar. Close gaps around pipes and wires, add door sweeps, screen vents and keep stored items in the garage off the floor. In summer, watch for wasp nests and mosquito habitat, and in midwinter keep an eye out for droppings, gnawing sounds or tracks in insulation.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Iron Mountain
Ant treatment in Iron Mountain
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Iron Mountain, 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 Iron Mountain
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Iron Mountain 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 Iron Mountain
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 Iron Mountain home is built.
Cockroach control in Iron Mountain
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 Iron Mountain apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Iron Mountain
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 Iron Mountain
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Iron Mountain. 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.
