🏠 Another Home Protected with Ridge Guard!

This week, our team completed another Ridge Guard installation, giving this homeowner an extra layer of protection where it matters most—the roof ridge.

Many people don't realize that the ridge vent is one of the most common entry points for unwanted guests.

Ridge Guard helps keep out:

🐿️ Squirrels
🦇 Bats
🐦 Birds
🐭 Rodents
🐞 Lady beetles
🍁 Boxelder bugs
🐝 Yellow jackets and other fall-invading insects

By sealing off these common entry points while maintaining proper attic ventilation, Ridge Guard helps prevent pests from moving into your attic and, eventually, your living space.

The best time to protect your home is before pests find a way inside.

Great work by our team on another clean, professional installation!

🐭 What's the Point of a Rodent Bait Station?

If you've ever seen a black box around the outside of a home or business, you may have wondered what it's for.

That box is called a rodent bait station, and it's an important part of a proactive rodent control program.

Here's what it does:

✔️ Helps monitor for rodent activity around your property
✔️ Targets rodents before they have a chance to move indoors
✔️ Provides a secure, tamper-resistant housing for rodent bait
✔️ Reduces the likelihood of rodents nesting inside your home or business
✔️ Allows technicians to regularly inspect, replace bait, and track activity over time

A common misconception is that bait stations attract rodents. They don't. Rodents are already traveling through your property in search of food, water, and shelter. The bait station simply intercepts them before they find a way inside.

The goal isn't just to eliminate rodents—it's to create a protective barrier around your property and identify activity early.

When combined with exclusion work and routine inspections, rodent bait stations are one of the most effective tools for long-term rodent prevention.

Have you noticed bait stations around your home or business? They're working behind the scenes to help keep rodents where they belong—outside.

🦝 Hearing Noises in Your Walls or Attic?

If you've noticed scratching, thumping, chirping, or other unusual noises around your home, it could be a sign that wildlife has moved in.

Our Nuisance Wildlife Inspection is designed to identify the problem before it gets worse.

During the inspection, our experienced technicians will:

🔍 Look for signs of wildlife or rodent activity
🏠 Locate potential entry points around your home
🛠️ Assess any damage caused by animals
🚧 Evaluate what exclusion work may be needed to keep them out

After the inspection, we'll provide you with:

✔️ A customized wildlife control plan
✔️ Exclusion recommendations to help prevent future problems
✔️ Clear pricing and next steps—so you know exactly what to expect

Whether it's raccoons in the attic, squirrels in the soffits, bats in the chimney, or mice finding their way inside, identifying the source is the first step toward a long-term solution.

Don't wait until a small wildlife problem becomes a costly repair.

🦟 Mosquito Facts You May Not Know

Mosquito season is here in Michigan, and these tiny pests are more fascinating—and frustrating—than most people realize!

Here are a few mosquito facts:

🩸 Only female mosquitoes bite. They need the protein from blood to produce eggs.

💧 Mosquitoes can breed in surprisingly small amounts of standing water—even something as small as a bottle cap.

🌅 Mosquitoes are most active around dawn and dusk, although some species bite throughout the day.

🐶 Mosquitoes don't just bother people—they can also affect pets and wildlife.

🏃 Mosquitoes are attracted to body heat, carbon dioxide, and certain scents produced by our skin.

🥚 A single female mosquito can lay hundreds of eggs during her lifetime.

🌿 Overgrown vegetation and standing water around your property provide ideal mosquito habitats.

The best way to reduce mosquito activity is to eliminate standing water and address breeding areas before populations explode.

Less standing water = fewer mosquitoes!

🔍 What Is Included in a General Pest Inspection?

Many people wonder what happens during a pest inspection. The answer? Much more than just looking for bugs.

During a general inspection, our technicians look for:

🐜 Signs of current pest activity
🐭 Evidence of rodents, insects, or wildlife
🏠 Potential entry points around the home
💧 Moisture issues that may attract pests
🕸️ Areas where pests are likely to hide or nest
🌿 Conditions around the property that could contribute to future problems

We'll inspect key areas such as:

✔️ Exterior foundation and entry points
✔️ Garage and accessible storage areas
✔️ Basements and crawlspaces
✔️ Attics (when accessible)
✔️ Interior areas where activity has been reported

After the inspection, we'll discuss our findings, answer your questions, and recommend the best course of action based on your specific situation.

Sometimes we find active pest issues. Other times, we catch small problems before they become major ones.

Peace of mind starts with knowing what's going on around your home.

🐾 Are Fleas Harmful to Humans?

Many people think fleas are only a problem for pets—but humans can be affected too.

While fleas prefer cats and dogs, they will bite people when given the opportunity. Their bites often appear as small, itchy red bumps, commonly found around the ankles and lower legs.

Fleas can cause:

⚠️ Itchy, irritating bites
⚠️ Allergic reactions in some people and pets
⚠️ Stress and discomfort from ongoing infestations
⚠️ Potential transmission of certain diseases and parasites

One of the biggest misconceptions about fleas is that treating your pet alone will solve the problem. In reality, only a small percentage of a flea population lives on your pet—the rest may be hiding in carpets, furniture, bedding, and cracks throughout the home.

If your pets are scratching more than usual or you're noticing unexplained bites, it may be time to investigate.

The sooner a flea problem is addressed, the easier it is to get back to a comfortable, pest-free home.

🪰 Signs You May Need a Drain Deep Clean Fly Treatment

Are you seeing tiny flies around your kitchen or bathroom and can't figure out where they're coming from?

The problem may actually be inside your drains.

Here are some common signs that it's time for a professional drain deep clean:

🔹 Small flies gathering around sinks, floor drains, or garbage disposals
🔹 Increased fly activity in kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms
🔹 A musty or unpleasant odor coming from drains
🔹 Flies that keep returning despite using sprays or traps
🔹 Slimy buildup inside drain pipes

Drain flies and other nuisance flies lay eggs in the organic buildup that collects inside drains. Treating the flies you can see won't solve the problem if the breeding source remains.

Our Drain Deep Clean Fly Treatment targets the buildup inside the drain to help eliminate the source—not just the symptoms.

Don't let a few flies turn into an ongoing problem.

🏢 3 Reasons Your Business Should Have Commercial Pest Control

Pests don't just affect homes—they can have a major impact on businesses, too.

Here are three reasons why proactive commercial pest control matters:

1️⃣ Protect Your Reputation
Customers and employees expect a clean, safe environment. One pest sighting can quickly lead to negative reviews and lost trust.

2️⃣ Prevent Costly Problems
Rodents, insects, and wildlife can damage inventory, contaminate products, and create expensive repairs. Routine service helps catch issues before they become major problems.

3️⃣ Stay Focused on Your Business
Instead of reacting to pest emergencies, a preventative program keeps your facility protected year-round so you can focus on serving your customers.

Whether you manage an office, apartment community, restaurant, warehouse, or retail space, having a pest management plan in place can save time, money, and headaches.

At Parshall Pest Control, we work with businesses across Michigan to provide customized solutions that fit their unique needs.

🐦 What Birds Are Considered Pests in Michigan?

Not all birds are pests, but some species can create serious problems for homes and businesses.

Common nuisance birds we encounter in Michigan include:

🔹 House Sparrows – Often nest in vents, signs, and building cavities.
🔹 European Starlings – Large flocks can create messes, noise, and property damage.
🔹 Pigeons – Their droppings can damage buildings and create health concerns.
🔹 Swallows – Frequently build mud nests on homes and commercial structures.

These birds can cause:

• Blocked vents and exhaust systems
• Damage to buildings and equipment
• Noise and unpleasant odors
• Large accumulations of droppings
• Increased insect activity around nesting areas

It's important to remember that many bird species are protected by state and federal laws, which means removal methods and timing are often regulated.

The good news? Bird problems can usually be prevented with proper exclusion and deterrents before they become major issues.

Have you ever had birds nest somewhere unexpected around your home or business?

🐜 Ants may be small, but they can become a big problem fast.

Many homeowners first notice just a few ants in the kitchen or bathroom and assume it's no big deal. What they don't see is the trail of ants leading back to a colony that could contain thousands of workers.

Did you know?

🐜 Ants leave scent trails to guide other ants to food sources
🐜 A steady line of ants usually means there's a colony nearby
🐜 Some species, like carpenter ants, can nest inside wood and cause damage over time

The biggest mistake homeowners make is treating only the ants they can see. To truly solve the problem, you need to find and eliminate the source.

If you're seeing ant activity around your home, don't wait until a few ants become hundreds.
