When Outdoor Pests Move Indoors: Common Invaders and How Stewart Pest Control Can Help
As the weather turns cold across Lansing, Michigan, many pests begin searching for warmth and shelter — and your home might be exactly what they’re looking for. From overwintering insects to rodents, spiders, and wildlife, these invaders can cause frustration, damage, and even health risks if left unchecked.
At Stewart Pest Control, we understand how quickly a small pest problem can turn into a major concern. Our experienced team provides proven, year-round solutions to keep your home comfortable, safe, and pest-free — no matter the season.
Overwintering Insects: Small Bugs, Big Nuisance
Insects like stink bugs, boxelder bugs, and Asian lady beetles are known for sneaking into homes as temperatures drop. While not harmful, they can be a nuisance when they gather in large numbers inside attics, windows, or walls.
Stewart’s Solution: Our targeted winter pest control treatments help seal entry points and safely remove overwintering insects before they become a problem.
Termites: Silent Threats That Don’t Take a Break
Even during winter, termites can remain active inside warm, moisture-rich areas of your home. They cause costly structural damage that often goes unnoticed until it’s severe.
Stewart’s Solution: We provide thorough termite inspections and customized treatment plans to eliminate colonies and protect your home’s foundation.
Bed Bugs: Persistent and Problematic
Bed bugs can appear at any time of year, often traveling on luggage, furniture, or clothing. They spread quickly and are difficult to control without professional help.
Stewart’s Solution: Our discreet and effective bed bug control services eliminate infestations and include follow-up treatments to ensure lasting relief.
Mosquitoes, Fleas, and Ticks: More Than a Summer Problem
While typically associated with warm weather, these biting pests can linger indoors during mild winters, especially if pets bring them inside.
Stewart’s Solution: We offer comprehensive flea and tick prevention programs and mosquito control services to protect your family and pets year-round.
Rodents: The Most Common Winter Invaders
When the temperatures drop, mice and rats seek warmth and food indoors. They can damage wiring, insulation, and stored food — and spread bacteria wherever they travel.
Stewart’s Solution: Our rodent control services identify entry points, remove existing rodents, and prevent future infestations through proven exclusion methods.
Bees, Flies, and Other Flying Pests
Even flying pests such as bumble bees, cluster flies, and house flies may enter homes to stay warm. Though some are harmless outdoors, they can become disruptive inside.
Stewart’s Solution: We provide safe, targeted treatments and exclusion services to keep your home free of unwanted flyers.
Birds, Bats, and Other Wildlife
Birds, bats, squirrels, and other small animals can enter through chimneys, vents, or roof gaps. Once inside, they can cause messes, odors, and potential health hazards.
Stewart’s Solution: Our wildlife control experts humanely remove animals and secure entry points to prevent future issues.
Spiders: Including Dangerous Species
While most spiders are harmless, black widow and brown recluse spiders can pose serious risks. They prefer dark, quiet areas like basements, closets, and attics.
Stewart’s Solution: Our spider control services eliminate infestations and include preventive treatments that stop them from coming back.
