About our service
Pest control for Long Lake Township, MI
Long Lake Township sits in Grand Traverse County, home to about 10,050 people, and it has an outdoors-heavy set of local places: Long Island, Picnic Island, Silver Lake Recreation Area, Carter Strong Nature Sanctuary, South Long Lake Forest Natural Area, Bullhead Lake Natural Area and several parks. Homes that back onto woods and water share their space with wildlife and insects, and that is the starting point for good pest control.
Natural Pest Solutions helps township residents with ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, mosquito control and pest inspection. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. We offer a free quote to begin, and there is no long-term contract to worry about if you decide to go ahead.

Pests we treat around Long Lake Township
Pests in Long Lake Township
What we deal with most around Long Lake Township, MI
Wooded lots and waterside yards give mosquitoes, ticks, wasps and spiders ideal conditions, and carpenter ants often work in dead trees, stumps and damp beams before they reach the house. Mice and other rodents shelter in brush piles and woodpiles and move indoors when the weather turns. Termites can attack any wood that touches soil, and fleas hitchhike on pets and wildlife.
Long Lake Township has about 154 nights a year at or below freezing, a long cold season, so from early fall on rodents and overwintering insects like boxelder bugs and stink bugs want in. Summers are short and cool, with only about 6 days a year reaching 90 degrees, but the warm weeks still bring a strong surge of mosquitoes and ants. Prevention timed to the calendar is what holds up best.
Weather and pests
How Long Lake Township's weather affects pest activity
These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast. Long Lake Township averages about 36 inches of precipitation in a year, along with roughly 101 inches of snow, which is a heavy load. July highs average about 79 degrees, January lows about 15, and February is typically the coldest month.
October is the wettest month, at about 4.1 inches. Rain, leaf drop and falling temperatures all arrive together, and pests look for shelter right as gutters clog and soil beside foundations turns soggy. Rake leaves away from the house, clear downspouts, and check crawl spaces for damp spots before the snow arrives. Those simple jobs remove a lot of the appeal for ants and rodents.
About 101 inches of snow is a lot to pile against a foundation. Snow cover hides gaps, insulates mouse nests near the house and leaves meltwater against walls in spring, which is when carpenter ants and mosquitoes wake up. Keep firewood stacked away from the house, seal gaps in fall, and treat exteriors in spring. If you would like a schedule built around your property, ask for a free quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Long Lake Township
Ant treatment in Long Lake Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Long Lake Township, 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 Long Lake Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Long Lake Township 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 Long Lake Township
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 Long Lake Township home is built.
Cockroach control in Long Lake Township
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 Long Lake Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Long Lake Township
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 Long Lake Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Long Lake Township. 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.
