Detroit Pest Control
Local Exterminator Serving Every Detroit Neighborhood
Pest Control in the City of Detroit
BTR Pest Control is a family-owned Michigan exterminator serving every neighborhood in the City of Detroit. Our office in nearby Livonia puts us minutes from the Lodge (M-10), I-75, I-94, and I-96, so our technicians reach Detroit homes and businesses quickly. We are not a national franchise. We are your Metro Detroit neighbors.
Whether you live near Belle Isle Park, work downtown by Campus Martius and the Guardian Building, shop weekends at Eastern Market, catch a Tigers game at Comerica Park, or own a historic home in Indian Village or Boston-Edison, BTR handles roaches, bed bugs, rats, mice, ants, wasps, and wildlife across all 139 square miles of the city.

Common Pest Problems in Detroit Homes
Detroit's mix of century-old brick homes, dense urban neighborhoods, and waterfront corridors creates specific pest pressure. Here is what we treat most often in the city:
🐝 Norway Rats & Roof Rats
Dense alleys, sewer lines, and vacant lots across Detroit create strong rat pressure, especially in Eastern Market, Corktown, and along the riverfront. We bait, exclude, and seal entry points.
🪲 German Cockroaches
Multi-unit apartments, rental duplexes, and older homes in Midtown and North End see persistent roach issues. We use gel baits and IGRs that stop the breeding cycle.
🐞 Bed Bugs
Bed bugs travel on public transit, in used furniture, and between apartment units. We offer thorough heat and chemical treatment plans with follow-up verification.
🐝 Carpenter Ants
The older wood-frame homes in Boston-Edison, Palmer Woods, and Indian Village are prime targets for carpenter ants. We locate the parent colony and treat satellite nests.
Seasonal Pest Problems in Detroit
Detroit's Great Lakes climate means different pests dominate each season:
🌱 Spring (Mar-May)
- Carpenter ants emerge

☀️ Summer (Jun-Aug)
