Pest pressure in Michigan
Michigan's climate is humid continental, warm summers and cold snowy winters. Michigan has a sharp four-season pest cycle — termites in spring (when present), mosquitoes in summer, rodents and stink bugs in fall. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure MI homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Michigan look different than they do in colder northern states.
