Pest control in Clawson
Troy's published pest guidance is the closest city document we can point you to for Clawson, which is 2.0 miles from Royal Oak, 3.1 from Madison Heights, 3.2 from Berkley and 3.3 from Troy. Troy's code enforcement says not to feed rats, mice and feral animals, to seal openings and to remove woodpiles and brush. Its page argues against rodenticides because of secondary poisoning, which is Troy's position and not state law. 11,314 people live in Clawson, where the median home value is $250,800 and 84.2 percent of homes predate 1980 (Census ACS 2023).
Oakland County's health division serves the city, and MDHHS counts six human West Nile cases in the county as of October 16, 2026. Clawson has no pest page of its own and no spraying program that we located. If you hire a company for rodents, MDARD's category 7D covers rats and mice, and 7A covers pests in and around dwellings. MDARD does not say which a mouse job needs, so ask.
A company that applies rodenticide for hire must keep records of the product, EPA number, amount, target pest, date and location, and for general-use products MDARD says to keep them at least a year.
The wider area: Oakland County
MDHHS's October 16, 2026 summary counts six human West Nile cases in Oakland County, and the department lists Oakland with Macomb and Wayne as the counties that have historically seen the most West Nile activity. Most housing in the older suburbs was built before 1980, and each city page gives its own share. A county or city adult-mosquito spraying program is not something we can point you to in Oakland County, so ask your city whether one covers your street.
