Spider Control

Spiders are common throughout Michigan homes, garages, basements, and commercial buildings. While most species are harmless and actually help control other insects, finding webs in corners, window sills, or basement rafters quickly becomes a nuisance for homeowners.

Some species — especially wolf spiders — can occasionally wander indoors while hunting, which understandably makes people uncomfortable. Raptor Pest Control provides targeted spider management based on species, activity zones, and environmental conditions — without relying on heavy, unnecessary chemical treatments. Our goal is to reduce spider populations naturally by eliminating food sources, sealing access points, and treating high-activity areas with family-safe methods.

Michigan spiders vary in size and color, but most homeowners will notice thin silk webbing in corners, window frames, garages, or basements before they ever see the actual spider. House spiders are small, brown or tan, and build messy cobwebs in ceiling corners. Wolf spiders are larger, fast-moving, and typically found near floor level while hunting. Cellar spiders have long, thin legs and create tangled webs in basements. If you’re unsure which type you are seeing, our technicians can identify the species on-site and recommend the most effective, targeted control plan.

• Webs in corners, around windows, basements, garages
• Increased spider sightings during fall (when temperatures drop)
• Small flying insects trapped in webs — spiders feeding on them
• Fast-moving, ground-level spiders (wolf spiders hunting)
• Egg sacs attached to webs in storage areas, rafters, or clutter

Raptor Pest Control focuses on reducing the conditions that attract spiders — because when you control their food source, you eliminate the spiders naturally. After inspecting your home or business, we remove existing webs, treat high-activity locations, and apply targeted perimeter applications to stop new spiders from entering. We also identify and seal gaps around doors, windows, foundation cracks, utility penetrations, and eaves to block access from outdoor spider populations. Long-term spider control comes from proper exclusion, moisture reduction, and limiting insect activity — not just spraying. Raptor offers seasonal maintenance programs that keep populations consistently low, delivering year-round peace of mind.

Ant Control

Ants are one of the most common pest problems for Michigan homeowners — especially during spring and summer when colonies expand and forage aggressively for food and moisture. From kitchen countertops to bathroom floors and pantry shelves, ants can quickly take over once they establish a trail. While many species are simply a nuisance, others — like carpenter ants — can tunnel into wood structures and weaken framing over time. Raptor Pest Control provides targeted ant identification and treatment strategies designed to eliminate the entire colony, not just the ants you see.

Michigan ants vary from tiny sugar ants to large black carpenter ants. Most homeowners first notice a long trail of ants traveling along baseboards, walls, or countertops. Carpenter ants are larger (¼” to ½”) and often found near moist, decaying wood. Pavement ants are small and typically enter through foundation cracks. Pharaoh ants are tiny, yellowish, and often nest in wall voids. Our technicians identify the exact species so treatment is precise — because different ants require different strategies.

• Ant trails appearing in kitchens, bathrooms, and along baseboards
• Sawdust-like frass near wood — common indicator of carpenter ant activity
• Ants clustering around sinks, dishwashers, or pet bowls
• Sudden appearance after rain or humidity spikes
• Small “piles” of displaced soil or sand near cracks where ants emerge

Raptor Pest Control takes a strategic, science-based approach to ant control. Instead of just spraying the surface, we identify colony networks, locate nest sites, and apply targeted treatments that eliminate ants at the source — including wall voids, foundation entry points, and exterior nesting sites. We then seal access areas, correct moisture issues, and remove attractants to prevent future infestations. Our exclusion process includes sealing cracks, improving drainage, protecting wood structures, and reducing food access both indoors and outdoors. With ongoing seasonal maintenance, we keep ant populations suppressed year-round and provide long-term protection for your home or business.

Hornet/Wasp Control

Hornets and wasps are aggressive flying insects that can pose real safety risks when they nest near Michigan homes or businesses. Unlike honeybees, these stinging insects can sting repeatedly and will defend their nests fiercely if they feel threatened. Colonies often develop in roof eaves, wall voids, decks, soffits, trees, and even mailboxes — and once active, they can expand rapidly. Raptor Pest Control provides fast, professional hornet and wasp removal using safe methods that protect your family while eliminating the colony at the source.

Michigan hornets and wasps are typically slender-bodied with narrow waists and well-defined wings. Yellowjackets are small, bright yellow and black, and commonly nest in walls, ground cavities, or exterior siding voids. Bald-faced hornets are larger, black and white, and often build large paper-like aerial nests in trees or under overhangs. Paper wasps are more reddish-brown with thin, umbrella-shaped open nests under rooflines. If you see multiple flying insects frequently entering and exiting one specific hole or corner, there is likely a nest nearby.

• Frequent stinging insects flying near doors, decks, and gutters
• Insects entering/exiting a specific hole or gap repeatedly
• Visible paper nests under eaves or tree branches
• Aggressive behavior when someone approaches the nest area
• Increased sightings during late summer as colonies peak in size

Raptor Pest Control removes hornet and wasp nests using targeted, safe treatment methods that eliminate the colony — not just the insects you see flying around. After confirming the nest location and species, our technicians treat the nest and access points to stop stingers at the source, then remove the nest when safe to do so.

We then seal or repair entry gaps, secure vents, and recommend preventive measures to stop nesting from returning the next season. Long-term protection comes from proactively eliminating nesting conditions — including sealing small openings, reducing food attractants, and inspecting rooflines early in the season. With ongoing exclusion and seasonal maintenance, we keep hornets and wasps away from your property and provide year-round peace of mind.
