Michigan’s pest season is not a string of isolated problems—it’s a calendar. Mosquitoes hatch after warm rains, poison ivy and invasive vines spread through neglected edges, and humid understory creates conditions pests love. The smart approach is a coordinated plan that targets breeding pockets, removes invasive-plant habitat, and reduces those conditions so your yard stays usable and your landscape stays healthy.
We build that coordinated approach around three things we do well: targeted mosquito control, licensed invasive-plant and poison-ivy remediation, and landscape health oversight from an ISA-certified arborist. Our mosquito program combines larval treatments with barrier sprays to keep populations down through the season. That two-step system and scheduled follow-ups are core to preventing big hatches.
For plants, early detection and removal of invasive species—like Japanese knotweed or Oriental bittersweet—cuts habitat that shelters pests and also protects native pollinators and beneficial insects. We offer invasive-species work and poison-ivy removal as part of our services, and we document and follow up so regrowth is caught early rather than left to become a bigger problem.
Why coordination matters: one intervention supports another. Removing invasive vines and cleaning edges reduces shady, moist pockets that attract mosquitoes. Likewise, timely larvicide work and barrier sprays stop mosquito populations from exploding after a heavy rain, so you’re not chasing outbreaks while you’re also trying to manage brush and vines. Together, the work is more effective—and often less expensive—than tackling problems one at a time.
How a season plan looks in practice: we start with a spring property sweep (identify breeding sites, map invasive patches, flag heavy-shade corridors). Then we deploy larval control on standing water, begin scheduled barrier treatments through peak mosquito months, and remove or treat invasive vines and poison ivy when conditions are ideal for successful control. Throughout, our arborist reviews plant health and recommends minor landscape changes that reduce pest habitat without sacrificing pollinator plantings.
A season planned up front saves time, money, and nights of swatting.
