🌲 Traverse City Pest Activity Update 🌲

Wondering what pest we're hearing about the most right now?

🦟 Mosquitoes
🕷️ Ticks

As temperatures warm up and we're all spending more time outdoors, calls for mosquito and tick control have been steadily increasing across the Traverse City area.

Why the sudden activity?

✔️ Warmer weather means more breeding and feeding activity
✔️ Moist areas and standing water create ideal mosquito habitats
✔️ Ticks are becoming more active in wooded areas, tall grass, and along trails

These pests aren't just annoying—they can also pose health risks to both people and pets.

Now is the best time to start thinking about protection before populations peak later in the season.

🐝 It may sound like just a quiet buzz… but it’s helping shape the future of our food.

This World Bee Day, we’re celebrating the incredible work of pollinators like the bumble bee.

These essential insects do far more than visit flowers — they help make many of the foods we enjoy possible.

Did you know?
Bumble bees use a fascinating technique called buzz pollination, vibrating their flight muscles to release pollen from flowers that other pollinators can’t easily access.

This process is especially important for crops like:
🫐 Blueberries
🍅 Tomatoes
🫑 Peppers

It’s a powerful reminder that even the smallest creatures can have a huge impact.

At Parshall, we’re committed to responsible pest management that protects homes while respecting the beneficial insects that keep our environment thriving.

Today, take a moment to appreciate the little pollinators doing big work all around us.

⚠️ Why spraying store-bought products can sometimes make infestations WORSE…

We see it all the time — a customer spots pests, sprays a store-bought product, and suddenly the problem spreads even faster.

Here’s why 👇

🐜 Some pests (especially cockroaches, ants, and bed bugs) react to over-the-counter sprays by scattering deeper into walls, neighboring rooms, or new hiding spots.

Instead of eliminating the infestation, it can:
• Spread activity to new areas
• Make pests harder to track
• Reduce treatment effectiveness
• Delay proper control

Many DIY products only kill the pests you can see — not the source of the infestation.

The key is identifying:
✔️ Where they’re coming from
✔️ How they’re spreading
✔️ What treatment approach actually works for that pest

If you’re dealing with ongoing pest activity, Parshall Pest Control can help identify the source and create a treatment plan that targets the problem correctly.

DIY pest control might seem cheaper at first… until the pests come back. 👀

Store-bought sprays often only treat what you can see — not the source of the problem. Meanwhile, pests like ants, mice, wasps, and roaches continue nesting, breeding, and spreading behind walls, in crawlspaces, and around your home.

Professional pest control means:
✔️ Identifying the root cause
✔️ Using targeted treatments
✔️ Preventing future infestations
✔️ Protecting your home long-term

At Parshall Pest Control, we help homeowners across Michigan solve pest problems the right way the first time.

If the DIY products aren’t cutting it anymore, give us a call — we’re here to help.

🏢 Why one untreated unit affects the whole building

In apartments, everything is connected — and pests take full advantage of that.

When one unit goes untreated, pests don’t just stay there… they spread.

👉 Through walls and shared voids
👉 Along plumbing and electrical lines
👉 Under doors and through hallways

⚠️ What this means:
• Treating one unit isn’t always enough
• Infestations can keep coming back
• Neighboring units can become affected quickly

This is why communication, access, and coordinated treatment across units is so important.

Pest control in multi-family housing is a team effort.

If you’re dealing with recurring pest issues, Parshall Pest Control can help identify the source and create a plan to protect the entire building.

🐦 Looks harmless… but it can turn into a problem fast.

This video shows a bird flying directly into a home vent — something we see more often than you’d think.

Vents (especially bathroom and dryer vents) are common entry points for birds looking for a safe place to nest.

⚠️ Why this matters:
• Nests can block airflow
• Fire risk in dryer vents
• Noise and odor issues
• Babies can get trapped inside

The best solution is prevention — installing proper vent covers keeps wildlife out while still allowing airflow.

If you’ve noticed birds going in and out of your vents, Parshall Pest Control can help with inspection and exclusion.

🐜 Did You Know?

The ants you see are only a small part of the problem…

For every ant you spot, there could be hundreds (or even thousands) hidden behind walls, under floors, or outside your home.

✔️ Ants leave scent trails to lead others to food
✔️ Colonies can grow quickly once a food source is found
✔️ Some species can nest inside walls or structural wood

⚠️ That’s why spraying a few ants doesn’t solve the issue — it doesn’t eliminate the source.

The key is identifying the colony and treating it at the source.

If you’re seeing consistent ant activity, Parshall Pest Control can help track it down and get it under control.

🌎 Did You Know?

Effective pest control isn’t just about eliminating pests — it’s about reducing impact on the environment while protecting your home.

At Parshall Pest Control, we focus on smarter approaches like:

✔️ Targeted treatments instead of blanket applications
✔️ Prevention and exclusion to stop problems before they start
✔️ Being mindful of beneficial insects and local wildlife

🌱 Many pest issues can be reduced simply by:
• Sealing entry points
• Eliminating excess moisture
• Keeping food and waste properly stored

Small changes can make a big difference — for your home and the planet.

🦇 Did You Know?

It’s International Bat Appreciation Day, and bats are some of the most effective natural pest controllers out there.

✔️ A single bat can eat thousands of insects in one night
✔️ They help reduce mosquitoes and agricultural pests
✔️ They play an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems

But while bats are beneficial outdoors, they can become a problem if they move into homes.

⚠️ Important to know:
During bat maternity season (typically late spring through summer), exclusion work is limited to protect young bats that cannot yet fly.

That’s why timing matters when it comes to bat control and prevention.

If you’ve noticed bat activity around your home, Parshall Pest Control can help you plan the right approach at the right time.
