Hearing scratching in the walls? You may have a rodent entry point you haven't found yet.

As temperatures drop across Michigan, mice and other rodents start looking for warmth, shelter, food, and a place to nest. And they don't need a big opening to get inside. A gap around a pipe, foundation, garage door, vent, or utility line can be enough.

We just put together a complete guide on rodent proofing Michigan homes, including:

• Where mice commonly enter homes
• How small of a gap a mouse can fit through
• Signs of mice in walls, attics, basements, and garages
• What materials actually help keep rodents out
• Why spray foam isn't always enough
• What homeowners should check before winter
• When it's time to call a professional

If you've been seeing droppings, hearing scratching, or finding other signs of rodents, it's worth figuring out how they're getting inside, not just dealing with the mouse you happened to see.

If you're dealing with mice or rodents in your home this winter, Anteater Pest Control can inspect the situation and help determine what's going on.

How do you keep wasps from nesting around your home?

Wasps, yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets can turn a porch, deck, garage, or backyard into a place you don't want to spend time.

But there are ways to make your property less attractive to nesting wasps, and knowing what you're dealing with matters. A paper wasp nest under your eaves is very different from yellowjackets entering a wall void or a large bald-faced hornet nest hanging from a tree.

We put together a new guide covering:

🐝 10 ways to help prevent wasps from nesting on your property
🏠 Where wasps commonly build nests around homes and businesses
🔎 How to tell yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets apart
⚠️ What you should and shouldn't do if you find an active nest
🌳 Why wasps keep coming back to certain properties
🛠️ When professional wasp control makes sense

Many homeowners don't realize that moisture issues can be a major reason pests keep showing up inside the home.

High humidity, damp crawl spaces, basement moisture, plumbing leaks, and standing water can attract a wide variety of insects, including springtails, silverfish, carpenter ants, centipedes, and mosquitoes.

We recently put together a guide explaining how moisture affects pest activity and what homeowners can do to prevent infestations before they start.
