Pest Control in Michigan

Michigan holds an unwanted distinction in U.S. pest history: the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle later blamed for killing hundreds of millions of ash trees across North America, was first identified near Detroit in 2002, and Michigan State University Extension has tracked its spread through the state's forests and neighborhoods ever since. Ash trees killed or weakened by the borer often stand dead for years before removal, and that dead wood, along with limbs damaged in Michigan's ice storms, gives wood boring beetles and the carpenter ants that follow them plenty of material near homes. Termites are present across the southern Lower Peninsula too, though Michigan's deep winter frost line keeps their activity slower and more seasonal than in warmer states. Rodents look for their own way in each fall, working through foundation gaps and utility penetrations as temperatures drop, since a garage, crawl space, or attic offers real shelter from a Michigan winter. Between the borer's decades long legacy in the state's tree canopy and the seasonal push of wood pests and rodents toward shelter, Michigan's pest pressure ties closely to its trees and its cold.
