Pest control in Escanaba
Marquette is 57.6 miles from Escanaba, Traverse City 99.4 and Cadillac 131.6, which leaves the city on its own. MDHHS says blacklegged ticks are established in the Upper Peninsula and the western Lower Peninsula, active whenever it is above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and that most 2023 Lyme exposures in Michigan were in those two regions. It identifies ticks from a photo or specimen for free. Delta County's health and mosquito pages are not part of our sources.
In Escanaba, homes built before 1980 are 88.0 percent of the stock, the median home value is $116,600 and the population is 12,374 (Census ACS 2023). For a home that old, ask a company to list the entry points it found and what it could not reach, and ask who closes them. A company serving a place this far from the others may travel, so ask if travel and a return visit are in the price.
A wildlife business needs a free DNR permit and may remove only listed species, among them raccoons, skunks, squirrels, opossums, woodchucks and bats. MDARD takes complaints about pest control at 800-292-3939.
The wider area: Upper Peninsula
MDHHS says blacklegged ticks are established in the Upper Peninsula and that most 2023 Lyme exposures in Michigan were in the Upper Peninsula and the western Lower Peninsula. Marquette, Escanaba and Sault Ste. Marie are 57 to 144 miles apart, so a company serving them likely travels. We cannot cite a county health, mosquito or animal control page for Marquette, Delta or Chippewa counties.
