- Pest IdentificationThe first step in pest control is identifying the problem. If you've seen something crawling around your house and want to know what it is.
- AntsCarpenter ants have six legs, two antennae, and three main body parts. They are mostly black, with some reddish areas. You will typically see carpenter ants traveling together in large numbers, on invisible highways, in your grass, on your walkways, and inside your home. They have strong mandibles and use them to excavate their way through wood and wood structures to use it for nesting. Typically these ants are black, red or brown, or varying combinations of red and black. The workers in the colony can range between 1/8 to 1/2 an inch in length and the queen up to 5/8 inches in length.
- SpidersSpiders are of the order Araneae and are arthropods that have eight legs and six or eight eyes and distinct mouthparts that are modified into fangs that have the capability to inject venom. Spiders are found all over the world and more than 40,000 different species of spiders have been identified. Spiders have the ability to extrude silk from their abdomens, which allows them to create webs to help catch their prey. Spiders prey on insects and other spiders, although some larger species have been known to take birds and lizards. There are a few species that are social and build communal webs to house anywhere from a few to 50,000 individual spiders. Most spiders live at most two years, although some of the larger spiders can live up to 25 years in protected spaces. Adult female spiders are larger than their adult male counterparts, sometimes dramatically larger. Males can be recognized by the presence of an enlarged pair of ‘palps’, or mouthparts. Male spiders are the ones that are more commonly found in homes because they tend to disperse during the mating season in search of females. Spiders come in many different shapes and sizes, some are smooth, some have a light ‘fur’ covering their bodies and legs. Spiders are very common in our service area.
- TermitesTermites are one of the most destructive insects in the country, causing billions of dollars of damage to residential properties each year. Rose Pest Solutions is one of the leading termite exterminator companies in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. Rose offers termite inspections which are often required for real estate transactions and mortgage approval. We are also a Certified Sentricon Specialist. Sentricon is the most efficient and effective way to eliminate established termite colonies.
- Bed BugsAt Rose Pest Solutions, we offer environmentally friendly bed bug heat treatments for homeowners in the following service areas. Proven to kill all stages of bed bug development, heat treatments are both a cost and time effective method for eliminating bed bug infestations.
- FleasThere are risks that come with rodent infestations. Not only can they leave behind their feces and urine, but they are also known for spreading diseases and causing physical damage to the structure of your home. Diseases spread by these pests include Hantavirus, Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome, Lassa Fever, Leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis, Plague and Rat-Bite Fever, among others. Rodents are known for spreading fleas and ticks to your pets and they can contaminate the food in your cupboards. Because rodents have a constant need to gnaw to keep their front teeth from overgrowing, they are known to chew drywall, insulation, wood furniture and other items. Rodents can even be the cause of house fires when they chew on electrical wires inside the home.
- CockroachesOut of approximately 4,000 known species of cockroaches worldwide, 30 are associated with human habitations and about five are frequent pests in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.
- Silverfish
- BeesAppearance: Large bees that resemble bumblebees. The one species in our region has a yellow and black fuzzy thorax, with a shiny (hairless) black abdomen. Males have a yellow spot on their face and are easy to distinguish.
- WaspsGetting rid of wasps and yellowjackets can be a very dangerous undertaking best left to professionals. There are many DIY sprays on the market that may temporarily reduce stinging insect activity but will not kill all of the insects in the nest and will almost certainly provoke an attack. If you really want to give it a try we suggest waiting until after dark to treat the nest, when all workers will be inside and it will be least active. Our service technicians are highly trained to identify the type of stinging insect you have, locate the nest and any nearby nests, and determine the safest and most efficient way to permanently eliminate the nests.
- TicksAccording to the Centers for Disease Control, the peak season for mosquitoes is when temperatures are at their warmest, which would be the summer months in Michigan. For ticks, the peak season is from May to August.
- Crickets
- Earwigs
- MosquitoesMosquitoes have plagued man for ages and in addition to being a nuisance, they can also transmit many diseases, such as Encephalitis, Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue, and West Nile Virus. For example; mosquitoes become infected with West Nile Virus when they feed on infected birds that carry the virus in their blood. Infected mosquitoes can then transmit diseases to humans and other animals while biting them. Although we can't rid ourselves of mosquitoes completely, we can reduce our risks with sound environmental management and personal protection techniques.

- BeetlesSilos are commonly used for the bulk storage of food products such as silage, grain or milk, and other materials including coal, cement, woodchips, and sawdust. Pest infestations can damage or contaminate products making them unusable. Rodents, stored product pests like Indian Meal Moths and Grain Beetles, and birds are just a few examples of pests that can cost companies thousands of dollars in lost inventory if left unchecked. Our pest management plans deter these infestations using a combination of regular inspections, exclusion, weed control, and fumigation when required. We also provide audit services to protect against failed audits which could lead to loss of contracts and revenue.
- HornetsThe technician was professional and friendly. They eliminated 100% of the hornets around my house. I was so impressed I signed up for an annual contract.

- Stinging InsectsNest: Hives are extensive combs made of wax and are found in wall cavities, hollow trees, and rock crevices. Round in shape and resembling a honeycomb pattern. Unlike other stinging insects in our region honeybee colonies can last for numerous consecutive years, which is why they store up honey, so they have food for the winter.
- Mites
- Sow Bugs
- Boxelder Bugs
- BatsOften portrayed as spooky creatures of the night, bats are actually far removed from their pop culture persona. Bats, nature's flying fuzzy friends, usually don't get the best rap compared to other animals out there. Represented in pop culture as blood-sucking monsters, moody and sparkling teenagers, or dark and brooding crime fighters, the reality of these portrayals couldn't be farther from the truth.
