The easiest way to keep spiders out of your home is simply to keep it clean. Uncleaned food scraps or spills attract other bugs, and that, in turn, brings in the spiders who hunt those bugs (often through the same entrance the other pests used to get in). Sealing cracks and gaps as well as cleaning and decluttering your outdoor areas like patios and gardens removes hiding places that spiders use to build their webs and wait for prey.

The overwhelming majority of spiders in Michigan are harmless, and at worst will leave you with a fairly itchy bite wound. For example, the brown recluse spider, the most dangerous spider in the U.S., is not native to Michigan because it can’t survive our winters. However, Michigan is home to black widow spiders, easily identified by their red mark on their abdomen. If you suspect a spider in your home might be hazardous, call us right away. We offer fast response times and can handle dangerous situations with the right equipment to remove any webs.

We use treatments that are effective against spiders but pose minimal risks to non-target organisms. They are primarily centered around removing visible spider webs, which in turn usually removes spiders themselves. Generally, pest perimeter treatments will help keep spider numbers down. However, if spiders continue to persist after treatments, let us know, and we can further adjust our strategy to help remove the additional intruders as well!

Our recommendation for mosquito spray frequency depends on several factors, including your property size, the amount of mosquito activity, and weather conditions. Generally, for most homes or businesses, we suggest bi-weekly spraying during the peak mosquito season for optimal control. However, these treatments can become less frequent as the warm season comes to a close, such as in September or early October. We offer personalized assessments to determine the best frequency for your specific situation.

To reduce mosquito populations, clean up or remove standing water, keep your rain gutters clean and clear so moisture can’t pool up, and incorporate mosquito-repellent plants like lavender, citronella grass, and rosemary into your landscaping. Additionally, maintaining proper yard care, such as trimming tall grass and bushes that serve as mosquito habitats, further reduces potential breeding grounds.

It’s impossible to guarantee that any area will be “mosquito-free” after any amount of treatment. Mosquitoes come in such large numbers and spread so quickly that any treatment will only mitigate local populations for a short period of time. This is why our treatment plans revolve around frequent re-treatments to help keep population numbers down. For every treatment, we offer continuous support and communication, addressing any concerns you may have, and we can adjust our strategies as necessary to achieve high-quality results. We are even available for emergency services if you need an urgent additional treatment or in the event of a population bloom.

Common signs of a rodent problem include:

• Visible droppings
• Gnaw marks on furniture or food packaging
• Oily rub marks along the bottom of walls or baseboards
• Sounds of scampering or scurrying feet in walls or attics
• Unusual pet behavior, such as heightened alertness or nervousness
• Sightings of rodents (usually during evening or night hours, as most rodents are nocturnal)
• Odd smells from confined spaces
• Seeing loose nesting materials like shredded paper

To effectively confirm and address these concerns, we strongly recommend a professional rodent evaluation, as we can identify less obvious signs that are easily missed by the untrained eye.

Our methods include a combination of traps, baits, and exclusion techniques designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future occurrences. In tackling rodent issues, we take a comprehensive approach through integrated pest management (IPM). By tailoring solutions that integrate cultural, mechanical, and biological controls, we minimize reliance on chemical interventions. This technique not only manages pest populations effectively but does so in a sustainable manner that protects non-target species.

The state of Michigan closely monitors and regulates the types of pest control products that can be used in a wide variety of different applications. As a professional pest control company, we stay up to date with all relevant legal requirements to make sure our services remain in compliance with safety and environmental standards.

Cockroaches are constantly searching for food, warmth, and moisture. Our homes provide all three of these things. No matter how hard you try to keep your home protected, pests will almost always be searching for a way to take advantage of these resources.

Furthermore, cockroaches are capable of squeezing through what looks like impossibly small gaps, including small openings around doors, windows, and other structural gaps. Regular home maintenance and inspection for potential entryways can reduce the risk of an unwanted intruder or even a full infestation. Our inspections and recommendations include guidance on fortifying these weak spots.

The time it takes to eliminate a cockroach infestation depends on its severity. Many treatments are effective at reducing population numbers within days, though it may take weeks before roaches stop appearing and their nests are exterminated. Our comprehensive approach generally recommends follow-up visits to monitor treatments and adjust strategies as necessary for better long-term resolution.

We do our best to actively choose and utilize products that offer the best efficacy while also minimizing potential impact on your property and your loved ones. Our technicians apply these products responsibly to minimize risks even further.

While their population numbers will swell in warmer months, roaches are a year-round pest that can appear at any time. Belleville’s humid climate allows cockroaches to thrive indoors and outdoors, especially during warm weather periods like spring and summer. Cooler months drive these pests into homes in search of warmth or water, making year-round vigilance crucial. Our strategic timing of inspections and treatments optimizes intervention effectiveness throughout the year.

Because cockroach treatments often involve applying products to areas where roaches might frequently venture, it’s important to remove anything that you might not want being in the way during a treatment application. This means you should remove food from counters and secure it in sealed containers, as well as clear clutter to allow technicians access to cockroach hiding spots.

Please also ensure pets and children are out of the immediate vicinity during treatment so our technicians have room to work carefully.

We use humane, exclusion-based techniques that safely guide bats out of your home without harming them.

The ideal time for bat removal in Michigan is late summer to early fall—after baby bats are old enough to fly but before hibernation starts. Due to wildlife laws, there are restricted periods during maternity season (typically June–August), but we can still inspect, plan, and prepare during that time.

Yes. We provide professional bat removal for residential homes, commercial buildings, churches, schools, and more. We scale our exclusion and prevention methods to fit the size and structure of any property.

Costs vary based on the size of the infestation and the complexity of the structure, but we always begin with a free, no-obligation inspection. After assessing your property, we provide a clear quote with no hidden fees.

Common signs of an infestation include itchy bite marks on our skin; small blood stains on your sheets; and an unexplainable sweet, musty odor. You may notice dark or rust-colored spots on mattresses and walls, and sometimes you may even spot the bugs themselves.

It's critical to also check areas like baseboards, carpets, and electrical outlets. Bed bugs can coexist with humans unnoticed for longer periods due to their size, but recognizing the signs early on can help keep their populations from spreading.

If you've experienced past bed bug issues or are purchasing a new home, regular inspections may be necessary. We recommend scheduling an inspection at least once a year, especially for those in multi-unit housing or for people who are frequent travelers, as these conditions increase exposure risk. Early detection is key to effective and manageable control.

While our treatments are highly effective, bed bugs can potentially return, particularly if brought in from another location. Our ongoing support and inspection services aim to prevent re-infestations, and we're always ready to offer guidance on preventive measures.

Preventive steps include securing luggage when traveling, inspecting second-hand furniture, and using protective encasements on beds. Our guidance helps fortify your living space to be less prone to infestations.

Identifying a bee, wasp, or hornet infestation involves more than just observing increased activity near your property. Look for visible nests or hives, frequent stings, or allergic reactions. These signs indicate it may be time to consult our professionals.

You might also notice unusual buzzing, particularly in attics, wall cavities, or garden areas. If you observe these signs, we recommend a comprehensive assessment to determine the best course of action.

If you discover a hive, do not disturb it. This can provoke aggression, increasing the risk of stings. Instead, contact our bee removal professionals, who can safely and humanely relocate the nest.

Each situation requires a careful assessment of the bee species and nest location. When you contact us, we provide specific guidance on how to handle the situation safely until our experts arrive to manage the process in accordance with local safety and ecological standards.

Our team is ready to respond quickly to any bee or wasp infestation concerns. Our promptness is backed by a dedicated customer service team, providing you with clear guidance throughout our process, initial advice, and visit confirmation. With a streamlined scheduling system, we aim to offer timely solutions, addressing your pest control needs without delay.

Local residents often encounter a variety of ants including carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants. These species have unique behaviors and nesting habits that require different treatment approaches. Carpenter ants, for instance, can damage wooden structures, while pavement ants typically nest outdoors under concrete slabs but enter homes in search of food. Understanding these behaviors helps in effectively managing and preventing ant issues.

Our team is well-acquainted with the biology and habits of these ants. For example, odorous house ants, known for their distinctive smell when crushed, often build nests near moisture. Our targeted approach not only removes these pests but also tackles the environmental conditions that appeal to them. By optimizing sanitation and minimizing moisture levels around your property, we can further reduce the risk of future infestations.

Preventing ants involves proactive measures such as sealing entry points, maintaining clean kitchens, and eliminating food sources that attract ants. Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent initial infestations, and implementing simple practices like storing food in airtight containers and repairing leaks can also significantly reduce ant attraction.

Beyond these strategies, we advocate for outdoor maintenance that includes trimming back bushes and trees away from the home, as these can serve as natural bridges for ants. You can also set up natural barriers, such as gravel or rocks around the foundation, that can create an unappealing environment for ants looking to invade.

Our team has the knowledge to quickly identify specific ant species and apply effective control methods. DIY treatments may offer temporary relief but often do not address the root of the problem. Handwing Pest Solutions offers comprehensive treatment plans that are aligned with local regulations, giving you peace of mind and long-term solutions.

Moreover, our professional services provide added value through the use of specialized equipment and products that are not available to the general public. Our technicians stay updated on the latest pest control advancements and municipal guidelines to comply with the highest safety standards.

Belleville, MI, faces various pest challenges, including rodents, ants, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. Each poses significant risks to commercial properties, potentially causing damage and affecting health standards.

Regular inspections and preventive measures are vital for keeping your building in good shape and your inventory, customers, and employees protected. Our team at Handwing Pest Solutions is experienced in addressing these pests using top industry practices for eradication and prevention.

The frequency of pest control treatments depends on your business type, size, and pest activity level. Small offices likely won’t need more than a quarterly perimeter treatment and some rodent prevention services.
