What we treat
Rodents, Bed Bugs and Fall Invaders in a Detroit River City
Rats and house mice
Older brick houses and multi-unit buildings give rats and house mice openings at foundations, utility lines and garage doors. MSU Extension says to fill any gap larger than 1/4 inch that leads outside with concrete mortar, sheet metal or hardware cloth, since mice chew through spray foam. Set traps along walls, where mice travel, and keep food in rodent-proof containers.
Bed bugs
MSU Extension notes that apartments and other multi-family housing make bed bugs harder to clear, because the tenant, the property owner and a pest professional all have to take part. Do-it-yourself eradication is discouraged. Check seams, headboards and furniture edges, tell your building manager at the first sign, and do the same if signs appear in a unit you have just moved into.
Mosquitoes
The state health department ties West Nile virus to Culex mosquitoes, which breed in small pools of stagnant water such as storm drains, shallow ditches, retention ponds and unused pools. Empty containers, repair screens and wear an EPA-registered repellent when you are outside at dusk. Clear gutters and refresh birdbath water each week through summer, especially in yards near the Detroit River and Rouge Park.
Brown marmorated stink bugs
MSU Extension says these bugs gather on south and west facing walls as fall cools. They do not bite or breed indoors, but crushing one releases an odor and heavy numbers can stain furniture. Screen window air conditioners, chimneys and dryer or attic vents, repair torn screens, and pick up stragglers with a shop vacuum holding soapy water.
Carpenter ants
MSU Extension calls ants seen indoors in winter, when it is too cold for them outside, a strong sign of a colony in the building. Nests form where wood is wet or damaged: around windows, doors, showers, dishwashers, leaky pipes and under roof vents. Carpenter ants do not eat wood the way termites do, so fixing the moisture source is part of the answer.
Spotted something?
Stink bugs collect on sun-warmed south and west walls as nights cool, then look for gaps near vents, chimneys and air conditioners. Seal and screen openings before the first cold snap. Mice also start testing foundations and garage doors once the weather turns.
With the January mean near 26 degrees, activity shifts indoors. Carpenter ants seen in the house during winter point to a nest inside the structure, and bed bugs and mice are more noticeable in closed-up apartments. Look near damp basement walls and bathrooms.
Thawing snow and spring rain expose roof, window and plumbing leaks, which is when moisture-loving carpenter ants spread through damaged wood. Walk the exterior for new gaps, clear gutters and check basement corners after heavy rain.
July averages about 74 degrees, and rain leaves water standing in catch basins, tires, buckets and old pools. Culex mosquitoes use small stagnant pools, so tip out containers each week and mend screens before evenings on the porch.
Describe it on the phone and we will tell you what it likely is and how we would treat it. Estimates are free.

MSU Extension says brown marmorated stink bugs aggregate on south and west facing walls when the weather cools. They are looking for shelter. They do not bite or reproduce indoors, but they do smell when crushed. Seal gaps, screen vents and use a shop vacuum with soapy water.
Close every gap larger than 1/4 inch with mortar, sheet metal or hardware cloth, because mice chew through foam. Store food in rodent-proof containers and set traps along walls. Check the garage, basement windows and the spots where pipes and wires enter, since those are the usual ways in.
Tell your building manager right away. MSU Extension says treatment in multi-family housing works best when the tenant, the owner and a pest professional all take part, and it discourages do-it-yourself eradication. Request a free estimate online and describe which rooms you have checked.
They can be. The Michigan health department links West Nile virus to Culex mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water. Empty standing water, fix screens and use repellent. Mosquito service is one of the options we can quote.
MSU Extension says ants indoors during winter are a strong indication that a colony lives inside the building. Nests usually sit in wet or damaged wood near windows, showers, leaky pipes or roof vents. Fixing the leak matters, and finding the nest is the hard part, so a professional visit is worth requesting.
Plans begin at $57; the estimate carries no cost. A mouse problem in a flat and ants in a large house are priced differently, so describe the property when you request an estimate, and keep (512) 561-7451 handy if you would rather talk.
Yes. Homes, commercial properties and real estate transactions are all covered. For businesses and multi-unit buildings the attention goes to drains, storage areas, loading doors and trash areas. Add the address and property type when you ask for an estimate online.
Foundation, basement, structural wood and any signs of moisture or activity are examined, and the findings go into a written report so both parties can deal with problems before closing. This is one of three services offered, with no charge for the estimate.
Detroit stands about 597 feet above sea level on the Detroit River, the strait that joins Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie. Older housing, cold winters and humid summers shape which pests move indoors.
Detroit sits on the Detroit River, across from Windsor, Ontario. Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac founded the settlement in 1701, and Wayne County's seat counted 639,111 residents in the 2020 census. Wikipedia says the city keeps one of the largest surviving collections of late 19th and early 20th century buildings, a stock that runs from Corktown to Boston-Edison.
Buildings of that age have plenty of seams at foundations, porches and rooflines for small pests to use. A 2009 parcel survey found about a quarter of residential lots vacant or undeveloped, so conditions change a great deal from block to block. The January mean is near 26 degrees and July averages about 74, which gives some pest a reason to come inside in every season.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Detroit property
Unique to Detroit
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Detroit details that shape every plan we write here.
Older Detroit houses reward a slow walk around the outside. Look at the foundation line, the porch base, the garage door seal and any place where pipes or wires enter. A gap larger than 1/4 inch can admit a mouse, so patch with mortar, sheet metal or hardware cloth rather than foam, and screen the vents and chimney before fall.
Inside, follow the water. Under the kitchen sink, behind the dishwasher and around bathroom fixtures is where wood stays damp enough for carpenter ants. Keep food sealed, empty containers that collect rain in the yard, and clear gutters so leaves do not hold water. In a multi-unit building, report any bed bug sign to the manager early.
Detroit service starts at $57 a plan. Request your estimate on the website, pick a time, or ring (512) 561-7451.
