Here's How We Solve Your Problem

First, we inspect your property thoroughly. Not just the obvious spots – we check moisture sources, entry points, and hidden areas where pests actually live and breed. This tells us exactly what we’re dealing with and why they chose your home.

Next, we create a personalized treatment plan. Michigan’s pest problems change with the seasons, so your solution needs to account for carpenter ants in spring, mosquitoes in summer, and rodents seeking shelter in fall. We target the root cause, not just the pests you can see.

Then we implement the treatment using professional-grade materials and methods you can’t get at the hardware store. We seal entry points, eliminate food sources, and create barriers that keep new pests from moving in. You’ll see results within days, not weeks.

What You Get With Our Service

Your service includes treatment for all common Michigan pests – carpenter ants, bed bugs, rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, and seasonal invaders like stink bugs. We handle residential and commercial properties with the same attention to detail.

In Nicholson, we see heavy carpenter ant activity near wooded areas, especially in homes with moisture issues. Our treatments target their colonies, not just the workers you see marching across your counters. We also include flea and tick treatment with our mosquito programs at no extra charge – something most companies charge separately for.

You get the same technician every visit, so they know your property’s trouble spots and can spot new problems before they become infestations. We offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders because this community takes care of its own.

Most companies spray the ants you can see and call it done. That’s why the problem comes back in a few weeks. Carpenter ants you see are just workers – the real problem is the colony hidden in your walls, deck, or foundation. We locate the actual nest using moisture meters and inspection tools that most companies don’t carry. Carpenter ants need damp wood to build their galleries, so we find where water damage or humidity is creating the perfect conditions for them. Then we treat the colony directly and fix the moisture problem so they can’t rebuild. The difference is permanent results instead of temporary relief. We’ve solved carpenter ant problems in Nicholson homes where three other companies failed because we actually understand how these pests operate in Michigan’s climate.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the United States with trained canine bed bug detection. Our detection dog can find bed bugs in early stages when populations are small and easier to eliminate – long before you’d notice bites or see the bugs yourself. Traditional visual inspections miss about 30% of infestations because bed bugs hide in places humans can’t easily check. Our dog detects the scent of live bugs and viable eggs with 95% accuracy, even in wall voids, electrical outlets, and furniture joints where they typically hide. This means we catch problems early when treatment is faster, less expensive, and more effective. By the time most people call for bed bug service, the infestation has spread to multiple rooms and requires extensive treatment. Our canine detection prevents that scenario entirely.
Yes, you get the same certified technician for every visit, not whoever happens to be available that day. This isn’t just about customer service – it’s about results. Your regular technician knows your property’s pest pressure points, seasonal patterns, and treatment history. They can spot new problems developing and adjust treatments before small issues become major infestations. When you call with a concern between visits, they already know your situation and can provide specific advice. Most companies use part-time college students or rotate different technicians through routes to save money. That means starting over with explanations every visit and missing problems that someone familiar with your property would catch immediately. Our approach costs us more, but it delivers better results for you.
Our technicians hold Integrated Pest Management certifications, which means we use the least toxic methods that still deliver complete pest elimination. We target treatments precisely where pests live and travel, not broadcast spraying throughout your home. For interior treatments, we use materials specifically designed for occupied spaces and provide clear instructions about any precautions needed. Most of our treatments focus on exterior barriers and entry point sealing to keep pests outside where they belong. We always explain exactly what products we’re using, where we’re applying them, and any temporary restrictions like keeping pets off treated areas until they dry. Our goal is complete pest elimination with minimal impact on your daily routine and maximum safety for your family.
Spring brings carpenter ant swarms as colonies mature and send out reproductive pairs to start new nests. This is when we see the most structural damage if infestations aren’t caught early. We also see increased spider activity as they emerge from winter hiding spots. Summer means mosquito and tick season, especially with Michigan’s humidity and proximity to water sources. These pests carry serious diseases like Lyme disease and West Nile virus, so professional control is essential for outdoor enjoyment and family safety. Fall is when rodents start seeking warm shelter for winter. Mice and rats can squeeze through openings smaller than a dime, and once inside, they contaminate food and spread disease. We focus on exclusion work during this season to prevent problems before they start.
Most customers see significant reduction in pest activity within 48-72 hours of treatment. However, complete elimination depends on the specific pest and severity of the infestation. For carpenter ants, you’ll notice fewer workers within days, but it takes 2-3 weeks to eliminate the entire colony as treated workers carry materials back to the nest. Rodent problems typically resolve within a week once we seal entry points and eliminate existing populations. Mosquito treatments provide immediate relief in treated areas, with peak effectiveness reached after 24 hours. Our seasonal programs maintain this protection throughout mosquito season with regular reapplications. We guarantee our work, so if pest activity continues beyond expected timeframes, we return at no charge to reassess and retreat as needed.
