You shouldn’t have to check your sheets every night or wake up with mysterious bites. When bed bugs invade your Owosso home, they don’t just disrupt your sleep – they create anxiety that follows you through every day.
Professional bed bug treatment in Owosso, MI means you get your peace of mind back. No more wondering if that itch means they’re spreading. No more embarrassment when guests come over. No more losing sleep over something that should never have been your problem in the first place.
With effective bed bug control, your home becomes yours again. Your family can relax, your property stays protected, and you can focus on what actually matters in your life instead of worrying about pests.
First Choice Pest Control has been eliminating bed bugs in Owosso, MI since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things differently than other pest control companies.
You get the same technician every visit – not a rotating cast of part-time college students who don’t know your property. We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because our customers see real results, not just promises.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection, giving Owosso residents access to technology typically only available in major metropolitan areas. This isn’t just pest control – it’s specialized bed bug elimination using the most advanced detection methods available.
First, we inspect your Owosso property thoroughly using our trained detection dogs that can find bed bugs at all life stages with over 95% accuracy. Human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of bed bug infestations, but our canine detection finds even single eggs hiding in mattress seams and electrical outlets.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan based on the infestation level and your property’s unique factors. We use heat treatment combined with targeted chemical applications because bed bugs can survive most pesticides but cannot withstand the controlled high temperatures we generate.
Finally, we eliminate the entire population – adults, nymphs, and eggs – in a single visit. Our heat treatment reaches every crack and crevice where bed bugs hide, raising temperatures above 113°F throughout your home to ensure complete eradication without the need for multiple return visits.

Your bed bug control service includes comprehensive canine inspection, heat treatment, and targeted chemical applications designed specifically for Owosso’s housing types and seasonal patterns. Many homes in Shiawassee County deal with older construction that provides multiple hiding spots for bed bugs, which is why our thorough approach matters.
We handle everything from initial detection through complete elimination, including follow-up monitoring to ensure the treatment holds. You also get our guarantee – if bed bugs return within our warranty period, we come back at no charge because the job isn’t finished until your home stays pest-free.
Unlike companies that just spray and hope, we use integrated pest management techniques that address the root of the problem. This means sealing entry points, eliminating conditions that attract bed bugs, and ensuring your property doesn’t become re-infested from neighboring units or external sources.
Bed bug treatment costs in Owosso typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 for complete elimination, depending on the size of your home and severity of the infestation. This includes our canine inspection, heat treatment, and any necessary follow-up visits.
The investment is significant, but consider that bed bugs can live 6-12 months without feeding and reproduce quickly – a small infestation becomes expensive fast if not handled properly. We offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
Most importantly, our one-visit heat treatment approach often costs less than multiple chemical treatments that other companies require, and you get guaranteed results instead of hoping repeated spraying will eventually work.
Our trained detection dogs achieve 95-98% accuracy in finding bed bugs, compared to only 30% accuracy for human visual inspections. Dogs can detect bed bug pheromones at concentrations humans cannot perceive, even through mattresses, inside furniture, and within wall voids.
This means we find infestations in early stages when treatment is more effective and less expensive. Visual inspections often miss small populations hiding in electrical outlets, behind picture frames, or in carpet edges – areas where our dogs can detect even single eggs.
The canine detection process is also much faster, taking minutes instead of hours, and doesn’t require dismantling furniture or drilling holes in walls. We’re among fewer than 100 pest control companies nationwide with certified canine detection capabilities.
Heat treatment eliminates bed bugs at all life stages – adults, nymphs, and eggs – in a single visit, while chemical treatments often require multiple applications over several weeks. Bed bugs have developed resistance to many pesticides, but they cannot survive temperatures above 113°F.
Our heat treatment reaches every area of your Owosso home, including inside walls, under carpets, and within furniture where bed bugs hide. Chemical sprays only work where they’re directly applied, leaving untreated areas where bed bugs can survive and repopulate.
The process is also safer for your family and pets since it doesn’t rely on pesticide residues. We use specialized equipment to raise and maintain lethal temperatures throughout your home while protecting your belongings and electronics from damage.
Our heat treatment process typically takes 6-8 hours for an average Owosso home, depending on the size and layout of your property. You’ll need to remove pets, plants, and certain temperature-sensitive items before treatment, but most belongings can remain in place.
You can return home the same day once temperatures return to normal and we’ve completed our post-treatment inspection. There’s no waiting period for chemical residues to dissipate because heat treatment doesn’t leave any toxic residues behind.
We’ll walk through your home with you after treatment to explain what we did and answer any questions. Most customers are sleeping comfortably in their own beds that same night, knowing the bed bug problem is completely resolved.
Yes, we guarantee complete bed bug elimination with our heat treatment service. If bed bugs return within our warranty period, we come back at no charge to retreat your home because the job isn’t finished until you’re completely pest-free.
Our guarantee is backed by 20 years of experience and the effectiveness of our heat treatment method. Unlike chemical treatments that may require multiple visits with uncertain results, our heat treatment eliminates the entire bed bug population in one visit.
We also provide follow-up monitoring to ensure the treatment holds and offer guidance on preventing re-infestation from external sources. Your peace of mind is worth more than our profit on any single job.
Most bed bug emergencies in Owosso can be addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner depending on our current schedule. We understand that discovering bed bugs creates immediate stress and concern for your family’s well-being.
When you call, you’re talking directly to our local team, not a call center. We can usually give you a realistic timeframe right on the phone and schedule your canine inspection quickly to confirm the extent of the problem.
We keep our service area focused on Genesee and Shiawassee counties specifically so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions. Emergency situations involving health risks or severe infestations receive priority scheduling.
