Ants invade homes looking for food and water. So if you leave dirty dishes in the sink, food residue on your counters, or crumbs on the floor, you’re essentially inviting meal-seeking ants into your home. This becomes a problem when those ants set up their nests in your walls, on your lawn, and around your home’s foundation.
HOW SERIOUS ARE ANTS?
Ant infestations are a pretty big deal. One of the biggest problems related to ants is food contamination. Ants carry bacteria on their bodies, which spreads when they crawl in your sink and across your countertops. Now, only a few ant species carry insect-borne diseases, but finding any ants in your home is an unpleasant surprise.
I HAVE ANTS! WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

So please give us a call at 989-352-7777 to schedule your ant inspection.

WHAT DO BED BUG BITES LOOK LIKE & DO THEY CARRY DISEASES?
Let’s set the record straight…bed bugs do NOT transmit diseases through their bites. They do, however, suck blood from their host with piercing mouthparts, but the bite itself is painless. Bed bugs also do not live under the skin. Their bites often appear as red, itchy bumps or welts on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. So if you’re noticing bites like this on your skin, please call us at 989-352-7777 today!
HOW DO I PREVENT BED BUGS FROM ENTERING MY HOME?
After we treat your home for bed bugs, we recommend that you inspect any used furniture you purchase before bringing it into your home. This is especially true for bed frames, mattresses, and couches. We also recommend checking your hotel room for bed bugs while traveling. You may want to inspect or vacuum your luggage and wash any clothing you used on this trip once you get home.
DO I NEED TO THROW AWAY MY MATTRESS?
The answer to this question depends on your mattress’s condition and the size of the bed bug infestation. If there are holes or tears in the mattress, bed bugs and their eggs may be nested inside. So we usually recommend discarding the mattress in this case. But if your mattress is in good shape and the infestation isn’t severe, we carry mattress safe encasements and active guard liners. Both of these products are effective as preventative and proactive bed bug treatments.
Flea infestations usually start with your cat or dog. These pests attach themselves to your pets when they’re outside and then infest their fur and areas they sleep indoors. This means to control fleas successfully, you must treat the inside of your home and yard! Luckily, Four Seasons Exterminating can help. If you’re dealing with a flea infestation or want to safeguard your home from these jumping pests, call 989-352-7777 today!
ARE FLEAS DANGEROUS?
Flea bites leave you with swollen, itchy marks. Hence, the reason why your pets scratch so much after they’ve been bitten. And, in some cases, flea bites cause allergic reactions in humans. But the real problem is that fleas carry insect-borne diseases just like mosquitoes and ticks. According to the CDC, the number of illnesses caused by flea bites tripled from 2004 to 2016. So if you’re dealing with a flea infestation, you need to act fast!
They can be! Mosquitoes are known as one of the most dangerous pests and for a good reason. Some species transmit insect-borne diseases like Zika, West Nile Virus, and Chikungunya. But you don’t need to worry; our mosquito control service targets these blood-suckers, so they don’t target you.
HOW LONG DOES YOUR MOSQUITO CONTROL SERVICE LAST?
Our mosquito control service lasts 3-4 weeks on average. Of course, this depends on how often it rains and which treatment option you choose: our synthetic option lasts much longer than the eco-friendly alternative. So we recommend scheduling your treatments every 21-30 days during the warmer months to protect your family from mosquitoes.
The most common culprit is poor housekeeping. But cleaning your kitchen, floors, and bathrooms sometimes isn’t enough. Roaches are accomplished hitchhikers, which means they can also get in by riding boxes, hiding in furniture, and latching onto other items brought into your home. Furthermore, roaches can enter through cracks and gaps in your walls, drains, or sewer pipes.
HOW SERIOUS ARE ROACH INFESTATIONS?
Not only are roaches a common pest problem in Michigan, but they’re also one of the hardest to eliminate. This is because roaches are often scattered throughout your home, have high breeding potential, and can develop a resistance to pesticides. This is problematic because roaches transfer E. coli and Salmonella from one food source to the next.
To get rid of rodents, it’s important to determine the exact species you’re dealing with. For example, if you have rats and select mice traps, the trapping mechanism isn’t large enough for the rats. Conversely, if you have mice and choose rat traps, the traps most likely won’t trigger for a mouse. Plus, each species behaves differently. Our highly-trained technicians know exactly where to look and what to look for. Understanding the differences between species increases our rodent program’s success, which is what separates us from the competition.
HOW DO I GET RID OF MY RODENT PROBLEM?
A lot of homeowners try do-it-yourself or over-the-counter solutions. The problem with this approach is it sometimes causes rodents to spread around your house, plus it’s often not enough to deal with large populations. Here at Four Seasons Exterminating, our technicians are trained to diagnose the problem, think outside of the box, and come up with solutions that make sense for you.
Ticks attach themselves, sucking blood from your loved one. Hence the reason why your pets scratch so much after they’ve been bitten. And, in some cases, Tick bites cause allergic reactions in humans. But the real problem is Ticks carry insect-borne diseases just like mosquitoes and fleas.
