Pest Control and the Lansing climate
Lansing's cold season is long, so mice and rats often move inside early in fall and stay until spring. Warm, humid summers bring ants to kitchens and spiders to basements and window wells. Older homes near the river can hold moisture in basements, which attracts silverfish and roaches. Watching for droppings, trails and gnaw marks helps you act before the problem spreads.
Seasonal checklist for Lansing homes
- Seal gaps around the foundation and garage before the first freeze.
- Keep window wells clear of leaves where spiders and insects gather.
- Take trash out often and use bins with tight lids.

Questions Lansing homeowners ask
What are the first signs of mice in a Lansing home?
Small droppings in cabinets, shredded paper, and scratching in the walls at night are the most common signs.
Why are there ants in my kitchen in spring?
Warming weather wakes up colonies, and they look for food and water. Sealing food and entry points helps.
Do roaches live in cold climates?
Yes. They live indoors near warmth and water, so Michigan winters don't keep them out of houses.
