With 5,600 acres of state recreation land, multiple lakes, and some of Oakland County's most heavily wooded residential properties, Highland Township faces pest pressures driven by forest, water, and wildlife on a scale few suburban communities experience.
Highland Recreation Area's 5,600 acres of woodland, wetland, and rolling terrain dominate Highland Township's landscape and pest environment. Properties along M-59, Hickory Ridge Road, and Duck Lake Road that border the recreation area face constant wildlife pressure — deer carrying ticks, raccoons accessing outbuildings, woodchucks undermining foundations, and carpenter ant colonies in the recreation area's dead timber sending satellite nests toward residential structures. The Haven Hill Natural Area within the recreation area adds another 3,000 acres of protected habitat that sustains some of Oakland County's densest wildlife populations.
Highland Township's numerous lakes — Duck Lake, White Lake's northern shores, Taggett Lake, and several smaller bodies — add waterfront pest dynamics to the woodland challenges. Lakefront homeowners along Duck Lake Road and Livingston Road deal with intense mosquito pressure from marshy lake edges and slow-moving stream connections between lakes. The humidity from these water bodies creates moisture conditions in surrounding soil that attract termites and carpenter ants to foundation wood, while the lake-effect dampness accelerates wood decay on decks, docks, and siding — creating pest access points faster than in drier locations.
The township's rural-residential character means larger lot sizes, more outbuildings, and greater distance between neighbors than in southern Oakland County communities. Properties along Tipsico Lake Road and Clyde Road often include barns, pole buildings, detached workshops, and horse facilities that provide rodent habitat on a scale that can overwhelm standard residential pest control. Mice and rats establish large populations in hay storage, feed rooms, and unheated outbuildings, then migrate to the heated main home as temperatures drop — sometimes bringing secondary pests like fleas and mites with them.
Highland Township's heavily wooded lots create a unique microclimate under dense tree canopies where moisture levels remain elevated even during dry periods. This persistent dampness accelerates wood decay in fascia boards, window trim, and deck structures, creating conditions that carpenter ants and moisture-loving insects exploit. The mature oaks and hickories throughout the Milford Road corridor and along Highland Road provide direct canopy-to-roofline access for carpenter ants, squirrels, and spiders. Our Highland Township technicians assess both the structures and the surrounding tree canopy, because in this community, the forest is always part of the pest equation.

"Our property borders the Highland Recreation Area and ticks were a serious concern with our horses and kids. Honorable Pest Control set up a comprehensive perimeter treatment covering our home, barn, and paddock areas. Huge difference."
"Mice were moving from our pole barn into the house every November. They sealed the house, set up monitoring in the barn, and now manage the whole property quarterly. Finally a company that understands rural properties."
"Carpenter ants in our fascia boards — the tree canopy was keeping everything damp. They treated the ants, recommended we trim canopy clearance, and now monitor seasonally. Professional and knowledgeable about how these wooded lots work."
Highland Township's 5,600 acres of recreation land and multiple lakes make the most common pests ticks (from deer), carpenter ants (from woodland moisture), mice and rodents (especially on larger properties with outbuildings), mosquitoes, and wildlife including raccoons and woodchucks.
