Call PestGuardians for pest control help in Michigan, from Detroit and Grand Rapids to lakeshore communities, wooded suburbs, and towns across the Lower Peninsula.
Call (844) 924-1337Michigan holds an important place in U.S. pest history because the emerald ash borer was first found near Detroit in 2002. Michigan State University Extension has followed the invasive beetle's spread through neighborhoods and forests as it damaged large numbers of ash trees across the region.
Dead ash trees, storm-damaged limbs, and damp wood near homes can lead homeowners to ask about wood-boring beetles, carpenter ants, and other wood-related concerns. Termites are also present in parts of the southern Lower Peninsula, although their activity tends to be more seasonal than in warmer states. As temperatures fall, rodents often become a bigger concern around foundations, utility penetrations, garages, crawlspaces, and attics.
Michigan pesticide applicators are licensed through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development after a core exam and the relevant category exam. Michigan licensing information notes that structural work is split across more than one category. Category 7A covers general pest management for residential and commercial structures, while Category 7B covers wood-destroying organisms such as termites, wood-boring beetles, and fungal decay.
Wildlife-related services may follow a separate agency track. Services such as Bat Removal, Raccoon Removal, Squirrel Removal, Snake Removal, Pigeon & Bird Control, and Wildlife Removal can involve a Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control Permit from the Michigan DNR. Michigan licensing information notes both a General permit tied to pesticide use and a Restricted permit limited to non-pesticide methods such as live trapping.
PestGuardians can help you discuss the pest problem, service needs, and next steps for your property. Before booking, ask PestGuardians about licensing category, rodent entry points, wood-destroying pest concerns, wildlife permitting, or pricing and the scope of the requested work.

Cold weather can push mice and other rodents toward garages, crawlspaces, attics, and foundation gaps. Ask how an inspection would address entry points, utility penetrations, storage areas, and exterior conditions around the home.
Dead ash trees, storm-damaged limbs, damp wood, and older structures can lead to questions about carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, termites, and fungal decay. Michigan separates some wood-destroying organism work from general structural pest work.
Ask whether the applicator has the category that fits the work, such as 7A for general pest management in structures or 7B for wood-destroying organisms. Wildlife issues may involve a Michigan DNR permit. Confirm the applicable credentials for the requested work before booking.
