It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Bancroft sits in a climate shaped by the region's Great Lakes position, somewhat milder in winter than western Michigan's snowbelt. Housing age skews old throughout much of this region, reflecting its early-to-mid-20th-century industrial growth. That's exactly what Norway rats, subterranean termites, stink bugs, spiders, house mice, and carpenter ants need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Housing here dates heavily to the early-to-mid-1900s auto-industry era, with established neighborhoods and full basements standard. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
