Dead Animal Removal
Any wildlife animal that can get into your home or business can sadly also die there. The idea of an animal dying in or around our home may be an unpleasant thought but it does happen occasionally. The presence of a deceased animal is unnerving; fortunately, Creature Controlâ€™s technicians have the experience to promptly and professionally remove carcasses. Though every case is different, all dead animal removal jobs fall into two categories: exterior or interior.

Dead Animal Removal
Any wildlife animal that can get into your home or business can sadly also die there. The idea of an animal dying in or around our home may be an unpleasant thought but it does happen occasionally. The presence of a deceased animal is unnerving; fortunately, Creature Controlâ€™s technicians have the experience to promptly and professionally remove carcasses. Though every case is different, all dead animal removal jobs fall into two categories: exterior or interior.

Insects and Spiders

Ants
Ants are some of natureâ€™s most hard-working creatures and their industrious habits and phenomenal strength are quite amazing. Although their colonies are impressive no one wants them near or inside their home or business. Each species of ants has different infestation techniques thus our methods in treating them vary. Creature Controlâ€™s pest and insect control technicians have the knowledge and expertise to exterminate your ant problem.
Spiders
Spiders are one of the most prevalent and beneficial creatures. Even though the vast majority of spiders found in Michigan are not venomous or dangerous, many people have an inherent fear of the sight of one. Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders, is the most common of all phobias and for many people, the problem with spiders is simply their presence in the same living space. The wildlife technicians at Creature Control can assess your spider situation and help you decipher whether pest control treatment is warrantied.
Termites
The most well-known wood destroying insect is the termite. Termites feed on moist or decaying wood and can do a lot of damage to a home once infested. Termites, however, are not native to Michigan and are typically not found here except in the southernmost counties bordering Indiana.
Bed Bugs
For effective and proven methods that eliminate pests of all sizes from bed bugs, termites, stinging insects, and mice.
Fleas
There is one reason and one reason only why mice have taken up residence in or around your home or business - a readily available food source. Their nests are usually within ten feet in proximity to their food supply, which typically means your kitchen, but they can be outdoors as well. Not only do mice contaminate our food source with their dander, urine, and feces but they can also transmit diseases indirectly through ticks, fleas or mites. Mice reproduce quickly, making them particularly troublesome. Properly eliminating mice requires knowledge and experience of their makeup and habits.
Cockroaches
The principles for humane animal control are different from pest control. We certainly do not live trap and relocate earwigs, cockroaches, or bed bugs. Effective pest control means the extermination of unwanted insect populations. The only exception is honey bees, which we recommend leaving alone as they are vital to our ecosystem. If the hazard of a honey bee hive outweighs their positive contributions, we suggest contacting a local beekeeper to rehome the colony. Other than honey bees, our strategy with insects is to terminate them.
Silverfish
Spiders can be quite beneficial to have around the home because they prey on other undesirable pests, such as mosquitoes, ants, wasps, and flies. Some spiders will even prey on other spiders like the daddy longlegs will eat black widows. Even the dangerous brown recluse spider eats cockroaches and silverfish. Spiders are numerous enough in agricultural fields, sometimes literally thousands or millions to the acre, that they serve to reduce pest insect numbers considerably.
Bees
Most humans get a bit finicky when they hear buzzing nearby and most donâ€™t care to identify the species, rather they just want to get away in fear of being stung. For this reason, bees can be a serious pest, especially towards those who are allergic to their venom. Certain bee species, like the carpenter bee, can also place the structure of your home at risk by burrowing their nests and laying their eggs into the siding of your house. Even with these nuisance behaviors, it is imperative to weigh the risks with the benefits they offer our ecosystem.
Wasps
Mud dauber wasps will occupy the same site year after year; however, paper wasps and yellowjackets rarely will reuse their nests the following year.
Ticks
In most cases, effective bat extraction is beyond the scope of what a homeowner can accomplish on their own and requires the service of professionals; attempts at bat removal can be dangerous for the untrained. Any bat you encounter should be presumed to be a potential carrier of rabies, even though the percentage is low. Guano is especially unsanitary and should not be approached or cleaned save by trained technicians wearing the appropriate protective gear. Besides its pungent odor, inhaling bat guano can be very hazardous as it may contain a fungus carrying a disease known as histoplasmosis. Bats may also carry mites, ticks, fleas, and other unwanted pests.
Earwigs
Come springtime, after earwigs have spent the winter in small underground burrows, the females will lay eggs in their chambers. Within weeks, the earwig population will dramatically increase and are legendary for their ability to get into absolutely everything. When earwigs swarm your house or lurk inside, give the professionals at Creature Control a call.
Mosquitoes
Most people know that there are some pests that they just can’t control by themselves, such as mosquitos or bedbugs. Mosquitoes don’t necessarily breed on your property, and the only good way to control them is with a fog treatment. On the opposite end of control, bedbugs are off-putting and resistant enough to over-the-counter remedies that most people end up calling a professional right away (which is the right decision). But what about insects that many people try and treat without a second thought, such as wasps, ants, or stinkbugs? Every grocery store carries a line of insecticides, or even traps, all claiming to “kill on contact,” or “kills *given pest* instantly,” but when used by the average consumer, they often do little to nothing to stem the tide of insects. What is the difference between generally available products and those that our technicians use to control pest issues? The…
Flies
A carcass in the home may also be accompanied by the presence of large bottle flies or â€œhideâ€ beetles (little brown or black beetles that feed on decaying carcasses). An animal that dies in a drop ceiling may cause a small wet spot to appear on the underside of the ceiling due the carcass sweating. This is especially common in the case of dead mice and dead rats.
Centipedes
Millipedes ("thousand-foot") are usually dark brown or black and have the appearance of a worm, generally about an inch to an inch and a half in length. Their body is more cylindrical, unlike centipedes, which have flattened bodies. Millipedes have many more legs than the centipede, sometimes up to 400 (although the world's largest was discovered in Northern California in 2012 having 750 pairs of legs.) Despite its abundance of legs, the millipede moves much more slowly than the centipede. Millipedes prefer to live underneath objects in damp locations where they can feed on decaying organic material. When touched, they will often curl up tightly to protect their breathing holes located at each segment, near the base of the legs.
Millipedes
Allow the soil near the house to dry between waterings. Roughening the soil surface will speed drying and will work plant materials into the ground where it is unavailable to sowbugs or millipedes.
Beetles
It can be difficult to distinguish between the indigenous American ladybug and the Asian lady beetle. Both look a lot alike and both are members of the Coccinellidae family and both exhibit similar behaviors. The Asian Lady Beetle has a very distinctive white â€œWâ€ shape on the back of its head and they can vary in color, usually orange, yellowish tan, or red with black spots. The American ladybug does not have the white â€œWâ€ spot behind its head; instead, itâ€™s shiny and black with two tiny white circles and their domes are scarlet red with black spots. They both seek shelter to hibernate during the winter, typically in October, seeking into crevices and dry areas, only becoming active again when the temperature rises above 50 Â°F. Asian Lady beetles have good eyesight and a very developed sense of location and will return to a favored sunning spot if removed, often the sides of buildings facing the south or west. They also seem to prefer to land on surfaces that are white or light-colored.
Hornets
There are thousands of species of wasps and about 20 types of hornets. One problem in distinguishing between the two insects is the generic term â€œwaspâ€ and â€œhornet;â€ when itâ€™s actually â€œpaper waspâ€ or â€œyellowjacketâ€ (which is a type of wasp), or a â€œbald-faced hornet.â€
Yellow Jackets
Eastern yellowjackets build hives within the ground and their colonies can reach numbers upwards of five thousand. Most of these hives start as natural depressions in the soil, or old abandoned ground burrows dug by rodents and other small mammals. As the hive grows, the workers expand it further by digging through the soil around the original tunnel. This activity loosens up the soil, creating a natural sinkhole 1 to 2 feet deep and wide. If stepped on, the burrow will often collapse, resulting in an eruption of yellow jackets that swarm the surprised bystander.
Moths
Centipedes and millipedes are not insects but are classified as Myriapoda (literally "myriads of legs"), a type of arthropod, from a broader group of invertebrates in which insects and arachnids also belong. Myriapods share many things in common; having a single pair of antennae and simple eyes and a mouth on the underside of the head. They all prefer to live in moist areas and feed on decomposing organic material, though centipedes are also predatory and will consume other pests such as roaches, moths, and termites. Although "myria" means 10,000, myriapods have multiple pairs of legs, ranging from as few as ten up to 750 pairs.
Stinging Insects
As the weather warms up, more and more insects will start to become active. Of the various subspecies that you might see around your home, bees and stinging insects can be the most troubling to spot as they probe high up within the eaves and soffits. General activity, along with pestering you and your guests enjoying the outdoors, is a sign that you should consider getting your home treated to prevent nest-building and reduce exposure. However, there is more than one type of stinging insect, thus various kinds of treatments should take place. At Creature Control, we first determine what you are dealing with before approaching a solution. This article helps explain the basic differences among bees and other stinging insects. Carpenter Bees are large, black, and usually cluster in small groups in and around wooden soffits, decks, and pillars. They can be glossy in some areas of their…
Mites
Skunks are omnivorous, feeding on everything from berries to insects to food dropped by humans. In their search for food, skunks can destroy entire yards by turning up lawns in their determination to feed on grubs, and they are capable of destroying flower beds, mulch, and bird feeders. Skunks are large carriers of animal distemperment and sarcoptic mange, a contagious disease in dogs in which mites burrow under their skin causing intense itching. Though neither of these diseases are transferable to humans, they can be contracted by cats, dogs and other domesticated animals. Rabid skunks may transmit the rabies virus to other animals through their saliva. Though they are generally a docile animal and will use their spray as a line of defense, skunk bites are a rare occurrence.
Aphids
The Asian Lady Beetle, not to be confused with the native American Ladybug, is an invasive species introduced into the United States in the mid-1980s to reduce aphids and scale insects that were damaging crops. Since then, they have spread throughout North America, displacing the indigenous ladybug population to become the dominant Coccinellidae beetle. Asian lady beetles are considered a nuisance pest as they cluster to the exterior of homes and crops to bask in the sun and consume your harvest. For professional, efficient control of all types of beetle or bug infestations, Creature Control can help.
Pill Bugs
The sowbug, also known as a woodlouse (and often confused with a pillbug or a roly-poly), is usually lumped in with centipedes and millipedes. Sowbugs are not a Myriapod or a bug, but they are a type of land-dwelling crustacean related to lobsters, crayfish, and crabs. The sowbug is brownish-gray in color and usually reaches about 3/4 of an inch. It has an oval-shaped body with a series of overlapping plates on its back, resembling a small armadillo or turtle. Although very similar looking to a pillbug, sowbugs cannot roll up, even when they are threatened. Sowbugs also have two appendages; to the naked eye, it appears as two tails, where pillbugs do not. A sowbug typically has fourteen legs. Like centipedes and millipedes, sowbugs prefer moist environments and they feed on decaying organic matter.
Sow Bugs
Remove leaf litter and decaying vegetation from around the foundation, which provides food and shelter for sowbugs and millipedes.
Boxelder Bugs
Boxelder bugs can alarm homeowners by their sudden swarming in the spring or fall, sometimes temporarily overrunning a house. Boxelder bugs are familiar to most people, identifiable by their black bodies and orange or red markings on their backs, including three distinctive stripes right behind the head. Boxelders feed almost exclusively on the seeds of different species of maple, especially the box elder tree, from which they take their name. Usually, they make their home on or very near a box elder or maple tree. They can frequently be seen in large concentrations called â€œaggregationsâ€ while sunning themselves near their home tree. For effective boxelder bug treatment, call Creature Control.

Bats
“I had been battling bats in my house for 3 years. Two other companies failed to remove them for huge prices. Dominic from Creature Control found where they were getting in and with in one month I have a bat free house for a price that was very low for the excellent service. RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY!!!”
Moles
Who hasn't had the frustration of seeing the harmony of their finely manicured lawn impaired by the eruption of mole mounds all across the yard? Moles can be incredibly destructive. Common belief when yards get destroyed is that its infested with numerous moles, when in reality, the damage is attributed by just one or two moles. Let our professional technicians help remove the root of the problem so you can start restoring your lawn.
Raccoons
Raccoons have a reputation for their incredibly destructive habits and mischievous curiosity making them one of the biggest residential wildlife nuisances. Most homeowners, at one time or another, will have to deal with raccoons prowling around their property. They are known to knock over garbage cans, steal pet food, destroy landscaping, burrow under decks, and get into attics and chimneys. No animal can cause more damage to an attic than a raccoon. Creature Control can trap and remove raccoons from your home or business and guide you through the restoration process.
Snakes
Mink are strictly carnivorous, preying on a wide variety of wildlife. The mink loves the water and much of their prey can be found in and around it. The minkâ€™s diet includes fish, shellfish, frogs, snakes, small rodents, rabbits, muskrats, waterfowl, and eggs. Mink will prey on animals much larger than themselves, latching on to anything they can get their jaws locked onto; geese and swans are occasional victims. The mink is among the most powerful pound-for-pound mammalian predator in the world. The strength of the minkâ€™s bite relative to its size is only rivaled by the Tasmanian devil and its cousin, the American weasel.
Wildlife
Creature Control is proud to offer Michiganâ€™s most humane wildlife and animal control services. We recognize that every insect and animal provides benefits to our eco-system. However, when faced with weighing those benefits to the potential problems and dangers infused among humans, property, and domesticated pets, there becomes a line in determining which takes precedence. No matter the outcome, Creature Control resolves wildlife problems with compassion and humanity, with respect for life and the environment.
Opossums
It is not uncommon for deer and other larger mammals such as racoons, opossums, and skunks to occasionally wander into your yard and die; either from a failed hunting excursion or struck by a car, animals can sometimes survive for a long time. They wander off trying to recoup only to settle in a nearby yard preferably within an enclosed space where they die. Homes and businesses situated within 100 yards from a major road unfortunately encounter this more often.
Armadillos
Muskrats
Mink and muskrats are semiaquatic furbearersâ€™ pests that you most likely donâ€™t want lurking around your ponds, riverbanks, lakes, or boats. The mink is known to empty koi ponds of all their fish within a few days and muskrats can wreak havoc on electrical systems from their constant gnawing. Muskrats can chew through electrical lines of your boat and dock and they undermine pond banks, reservoirs, and other water-retaining structures from their extensive burrowing. Their tunneling can cause leaks, flooding problems, or clog up drain tiles. For prompt and professional help in ridding nuisance pests, call Creature Control today.

Woodpeckers
Almost all of the calls for bird problems deal with six species: starlings, sparrows, pigeons, woodpeckers, chimney swifts and swallows. Businesses spend more money on rodent control than any other pest, but bird control is a close second for trades such as; the airline industry, crop harvesting, fisheries, and retail. Damage caused by birds can vary depending on the type of birds you are dealing with. All birds can cause damage by their droppings, which can contaminate and ruin building materials. Bird droppings in areas frequented by people (parking lots, loading docks, etc.) mean wasted time and money for companies and municipalities who need to pay for the clean-up. Birds will also nest in unwanted areas such as; construction gaps, vent pipes and any niche or opening in a structure.
Sparrows
Migrating Starlings Starlings have returned from migration and are probing and locating nesting sites. Common places for them to roost are eave returns, bathroom fan vent lines, and oven hoods. These birds are very messy nesters and can have up to 2 broods—one in the spring and one in the early summer. If given the opportunity, they make large nests, and their offspring are noisy, among other issues such as carrying mites and ticks, feces buildup, nest debris and smell, and deceased birds. Besides the constant racket, a starling invasion can clog or even destroy your vent lines. Other common pesty birds are English sparrows, which can have up to five clutches per nesting season. Though they are not as messy or destructive as a starling, they too can carry mites and ticks and can create a disturbance with their nest debris and feces while they utilize voids and ledges of…
Starlings
Pigeons

Rodents
Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, marmots, or â€œwhistle-pigsâ€ in some southern areas; are common, large rodents found throughout North America. In Michigan, groundhogs are a nuisance mammal whose extensive burrows can destroy lawns, crops, and undermine foundations. Their destructive underground powers not only affect the beauty of your property but can put animals in danger and create hazards for vehicles, equipment, and structures. Keep your estate in good standing by calling the experienced technicians at Creature Control to trap and remove threatening groundhogs.
Mice
Traps are usually not placed effectively; successful trapping requires a knowledge of the habits and movements of mice and rats in order to place the traps in the best locations.
Rats
Itâ€™s estimated that rats destroy 20% of the worldâ€™s food supply every year, directly by feeding and indirectly through contamination.
Squirrels
Squirrels are guilty of destroying your homeâ€™s landscape as well. They often chew on tree branches and strip the bark from tree trunks and limbs, putting the tree itself at risk. Like most other critters, squirrels love to steal ripe fruit and vegetables from gardens and dig up plant bulbs for consumption. If you feel that there is a high amount of squirrel activity in your yard, be sure to check the perimeter of your home to ensure that any closely aligning trees, wiring, and your siding and gutters are not acting as gateways into your home. Squirrels could be foraging in your yard for food and nesting in your crawlspace or attic. Controlling the squirrel population outside of your home helps prevent them from getting inside your home.
Chipmunks
Chipmunks are capable of doing a considerable amount of damage to your property from their extensive, yet impressive underground burrows. The tunnels they create are like labyrinths for a rodent, typically running three feet underground and up to twenty feet long. They have separate compartments for food storage, sleeping, discarded nut shells, and waste. The burrow of a chipmunk can place the beauty of your yard, the health of your garden, and your structural foundation at risk as they build them under retaining walls, stairs, patios or other structures. Chipmunks will destroy all types of shrubbery by burrowing underneath them and exposing their roots. They also will dig up plant roots to feed on them.
