At Pest Pros of Michigan, we design our mosquito, flea, and tick control program to help Kalamazoo homeowners enjoy their yards without the constant irritation from biting pests. We begin with a full property assessment, focusing on shaded, damp, or wooded areas where mosquitoes breed and ticks tend to hide. This allows us to develop a treatment plan that targets these hotspots using tested products that knock down active pests and disrupt their development cycle.
Our service doesn’t stop after one visit. Since mosquitoes and ticks surge during Michigan’s warmer months, we schedule routine applications throughout the season to keep populations under control. We also provide practical tips to help reduce pest activity between visits, including how to eliminate standing water and trim dense vegetation. Our goal is simple—make your yard a comfortable, bite-free space you can enjoy all summer.
How Does It Work?

Mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks create more than just a nuisance—they can seriously affect your health, comfort, and daily life, especially during Kalamazoo’s warmer months.
Here are four reasons why managing these pests matters:
Disease Transmission
Mosquitoes can spread illnesses like Zika, West Nile, and dengue, while ticks in Michigan are known vectors for Lyme disease and anaplasmosis. Fleas aren’t just annoying—they can also transmit murine typhus and other bacterial infections.
Allergic Reactions
These insects often leave behind itchy, inflamed welts. In some cases, people experience more intense allergic responses, which might lead to swelling, rashes, or the need for medical care.
Impact on Pets
Your pets aren’t safe either—fleas and ticks can trigger allergic reactions, skin infections, and transmit dangerous diseases. Dogs in Kalamazoo often face Lyme and other tick-borne risks, while cats may suffer from flea-related anemia.
Quality of Life
Even relaxing in your backyard can be difficult with pests swarming. Constant bites can ruin family time outside and even disrupt sleep inside the house, lowering your overall comfort at home.
Catching mosquitoes, fleas, or ticks early on can make a big difference in preventing a full-blown infestation around your Kalamazoo home.
Here are four indicators these pests might already be around:
Bites
Mosquito bites usually show up as itchy, raised red spots shortly after exposure. Flea bites are often grouped in patches—most commonly on feet or lower legs—and cause persistent itching. Tick bites might not be felt at all, but you could notice redness or a bullseye-shaped rash, which can indicate Lyme disease.
Sighting of the Insects
If you notice mosquitoes buzzing around your yard near dawn or dusk, they’re likely nesting nearby. Fleas are tough to see but may be spotted jumping on rugs, furniture, or pets. Ticks often latch onto pets or people after they’ve been near brush, leaf litter, or long grass.
Pet Scratching
Excessive scratching, biting, or licking could be a sign your dog or cat has picked up fleas or ticks. You might also notice fur loss or skin irritation in areas they’re trying to soothe.
Eggs or Larvae
Mosquito larvae wiggle just below the surface of standing water in birdbaths or buckets. Flea eggs, which resemble tiny grains of salt, may be scattered in pet beds, carpets, or floor gaps. Tick nymphs and larvae are much smaller but can be found where pets rest or along baseboards and entry points.

“Franklin arrived to do our tick and mosquito service which requires us to stay inside for 2 hours. We were hosting an outdoor pool party that had just started. Franklin offered to come back the next morning so we could enjoy our time with our friends outside and still get our service in a timely manner. Extremely polite and understanding. Thank you!”
