These Pests Are No Match for Us
No matter what kind of pest you're dealing with, the licensed team at R. Moerman Termite & Pest Control is ready to help. With over 80 years in the field, we have experience dealing with these and many other pests throughout West Michigan. Count on us for solutions that work!
Ants
Ants are clever pests that can enter your home in many ways. We're familiar with Michigan's many ant species, including carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and little black ants. We know their behaviors, habitats, and favorite foods, so we can effectively keep them out of your home.
Carpenter Bees
Often mistaken for bumble bees, carpenter bees are large, solitary bees that drill perfectly round holes in wood to make their nests. We can utilize several methods to stop carpenter bees from nesting in and damaging your home.
Roaches
Cockroaches are adaptable pests that unfortunately thrive in kitchens and bathrooms. We provide thorough, professional cockroach elimination services for both homes and businesses.
Termites
Termites are serious pests that are active year-round and cause billions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses. Our team is highly knowledgeable about termite behavior, defense, and treatment. And as Termidor Certified Professionals, we are licensed to apply Termidor’s cutting-edge termite-targeting products.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be notoriously difficult to eliminate, but don't worry! We offer thorough and effective treatments for homes, hospitals, hotels, apartments, and more. We kill bed bugs right where they love to hide and recommend additional action steps to prevent future infestations.
Rodents
Mice and rats are known carriers of disease, and their nests can cause structural damage to buildings. We take care of several Michigan rodent species, including the house mouse, deer mouse, white-footed mouse, cotton rat, rice rat, and roof rat. If you see a rodent in your home or business, avoid touching it. Call a professional to eliminate the issue for you.
Mosquitoes
The bane of summer, mosquitoes aren’t just irritating, but can present health risks when you’re just trying to enjoy the outdoors. In fact, mosquitoes are the world's deadliest animal, spreading serious diseases such as West Nile Virus and malaria. We offer mosquito treatments to keep them away from your property as well as additional techniques for reducing their numbers.
Flies
Flies can be noisy, irritating, and unhygienic. We help eliminate and prevent infestations by common fly species, including cluster flies that gather inside attics and wall voids.
Beetles
Michigan is home to many beetle species, both native and invasive, harmful and benign. We provide targeted treatments for many of them, including: • Box Elder Bugs: Nuisance insects that feed on ash, maple, and box elder trees. • Ladybugs (and invasive lookalikes): A bad-smelling beetle that likes to congregate indoors in the fall. • Powder Post Beetles: A wood-destroying pest common in older farmhouses and Michigan basements.
Mites
We offer proven, effective control solutions for the tiniest of pests, including clover mites that congregate inside in large numbers during spring and fall.
Fleas & Ticks
Michigan’s wooded areas are known for harboring fleas and ticks that can potentially spread disease to your loved ones. We help turn your yard into a flea- and tick-free zone where kids and pets can play without worry.
Moths
Is your pantry or closet hiding unwanted visitors? We help control dry goods-loving pantry moths and cloth-eating clothes moths to keep your belongings safe.
Spiders
Spiders are Halloween icons, but not necessarily welcome guests in your home. We offer outdoor and indoor treatments that are effective against all types of spider, including: • Black Widow Spiders: Highly venomous spiders with a distinctive red hourglass shape on their abdomen. • Brown Recluses: Aggressive and deadly spiders whose venom causes tissue necrosis. • House Spiders: Venomous but non-lethal spiders who feed on the insects attracted by electric lights. • Wolf Spiders: Non-aggressive venomous spiders with a painful bite. • Yellow Sac Spiders: Non-lethal, venomous spiders that create small, tube-like sacs in out-of-the-way corners.
Crickets
The chirping of crickets can be a pleasant sound outside on a summer evening, but indoors, it's a different story! We help trap and remove crickets that have made their way inside while reducing attractive entry points to prevent future visits.
Silverfish
Silverfish are destructive household pests that love moist spaces and chew on starches, sugars, and cellulose. Call our professional team to remove them before they wreak havoc on your books, wallpaper, and fabrics.
Earwigs
Another harmless but unsettling house guest: earwigs enter buildings when attracted to moisture, warmth, and food. We offer effective solutions to help you avoid these issues.
Centipedes & Millipedes
While not generally harmful to humans, we know you don't necessarily want centipedes and millipedes making themselves at home in your house. We offer outdoor barriers and indoor treatments to keep these crawling creatures away.
Wasps
Keep your property safe from wasps, bald-faced hornets, yellow jackets, and other aggressive stinging insects. We can safely remove inconveniently placed nests that could present a threat to people and pets.
