Pest control in Comstock Park
Comstock Park is a census-designated place of 10,306 residents in Kent County, with 40.0 percent of homes built before 1980 and a median home value of $216,600 (Census ACS 2023). Northview is 3.7 miles away, Walker 5.2, Grand Rapids 5.8 and East Grand Rapids 7.6. A Kent County page we have not confirmed in full says the county's health department tests traps and tick drags for West Nile and Lyme, and runs mosquito and tick surveillance from April through September.
MDHHS counts four human West Nile cases and 22 positive mosquito pools in the county as of October 16, 2026. A CDP has no city hall, so the county and the state hold the rules. A company working here is licensed by MDARD, its applicators hold a certification or registration and the business license expires every December 31. Ask for the license number and the paperwork at each visit, including the pest, the active ingredients and the label's precautions.
For wildlife, DNR's permit is free to the business, and a skunk may not be possessed or relocated under DNR's circular, which says skunks must be euthanized.
The wider area: Kent County
Kent County's health department runs mosquito and tick surveillance from April through September. As of October 16, 2026, MDHHS counts four human West Nile cases and 22 positive mosquito pools in Kent County. West Michigan is also where MDHHS says infected blacklegged ticks were first confirmed in the Lower Peninsula, in 2002 along the west coast, and where they are now established. The county pages we can cite describe surveillance and no county-wide adult spraying, so ask the county health department what it runs.
