You shouldn’t have to jump at every sound in your walls or wonder if that ant means thousands more are coming. When pest problems get handled right, your home becomes yours again. Your family can relax without worrying about what’s crawling around after dark.
Professional pest control means you get immediate relief from active infestations and long-term protection that prevents problems from coming back. No more avoiding your backyard because of mosquitoes or feeling embarrassed when guests spot unwanted visitors.
Your peace of mind gets restored when you work with technicians who understand Michigan’s seasonal pest patterns and know exactly how to stop them.
First Choice Pest Control has been protecting Burt families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and here’s what makes us different: you get the same technician every visit.
No strangers showing up at your door who don’t know your property or concerns. Your technician learns your home’s unique challenges and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your specific situation.
We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor, maintain integrated pest management training, and offer specialized services like canine bed bug detection—available from fewer than 100 companies nationwide.
First, we inspect your property thoroughly—inside and out. We identify current pest activity, potential entry points, and conditions that attract unwanted visitors. This isn’t a quick walkthrough; we’re looking for the real source of your problem.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan based on what we found, not some cookie-cutter approach. Different pests need different solutions, and your property has unique factors that affect how we handle the situation.
We implement the treatment using proven methods and safe products, then monitor results to make sure the problem is actually solved. If pests return within the guarantee period, we come back at no charge because the job isn’t done until your home stays pest-free.

Your service covers the full range of pests common to Burt and Genesee County. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots. Summer means mosquitoes, ticks, and stinging insects. Fall drives rodents indoors as temperatures drop.
We handle everything from ants and spiders to mice and mosquitoes using integrated pest management techniques that focus on long-term prevention. Our mosquito programs automatically include flea and tick treatment at no extra charge because outdoor pest problems rarely exist in isolation.
You also get specialized services most companies don’t offer. Our canine bed bug detection puts us among fewer than 100 companies nationwide with this capability. Plus, we offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
Most pest emergencies in Burt can be addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations like stinging insect nests or active rodent infestations. Our response time depends on the specific pest and severity of the situation.
Carpenter ants damaging your home structure get priority treatment, as do any pests that pose health risks to your family. We keep our service area focused on Genesee County specifically so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions.
When you call, we’ll assess your situation and give you a realistic timeframe. No generic responses—you get a specific appointment window and a technician who shows up when promised.
Burt’s location in Genesee County means dealing with predictable seasonal pest pressures. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots, along with early mosquito activity. Summer sees peak mosquito, tick, and stinging insect populations.
Fall drives mice and rats indoors as temperatures drop—they’re particularly active in early to mid-fall as they search for warm shelter. Winter brings occasional invasions of overwintering pests like stink bugs and box elder bugs seeking indoor shelter.
Your technician knows which pests are active when and where they’re most likely to cause problems on your property. This isn’t generic pest control—it’s protection designed for your specific area and seasonal challenges.
Yes, you get the same trained technician assigned to your account year after year. This isn’t a policy we advertise just to sound good—it’s how we actually operate because it delivers better results for you.
Most pest control companies send whoever’s available. Different technician every time, different approach every visit, no consistency in treatment or results. You end up explaining your problem over and over to people who don’t know your property.
Your technician stays with you, learns your property’s unique challenges, and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your specific situation. We know your concerns, your property layout, and the most effective approach for your pest challenges.
Our trained detection dogs can find bed bugs at all life stages—even single eggs—with over 95% accuracy. Human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of bed bug infestations, making dogs far more reliable for early detection.
Dogs can smell bed bug pheromones at concentrations humans cannot detect, even in tiny cracks and crevices. This method finds infestations in early stages when treatment is more effective and less expensive than waiting until populations explode.
We’re among fewer than 100 pest control companies nationwide offering certified canine detection, giving Burt residents access to technology typically only available in major metropolitan areas. Visual inspections alone often miss small populations hiding in mattress seams, electrical outlets, or behind furniture.
Carpenter ant prevention starts with moisture control since these pests target water-damaged or consistently damp wood. We inspect your property for leaky pipes, poor drainage, inadequate ventilation in basements and crawl spaces, and any wood-to-soil contact around your foundation.
Treatment involves targeted applications at entry points and nesting areas, plus elimination of satellite colonies that might exist in outdoor wood piles, tree stumps, or damaged trees near your home. We also seal potential entry points and remove conditions that attract them.
The key difference between our approach and DIY solutions is understanding carpenter ant biology. These insects don’t eat wood like termites—they excavate it to create galleries for their colonies. Surface sprays won’t reach established colonies, so our technicians know how to locate the main nest and satellite colonies for complete elimination.
Our mosquito control includes treatment of breeding areas, application of barrier protection around your property, and ongoing monitoring throughout the season. The service targets both adult mosquitoes and larvae to break the reproduction cycle.
Your technician identifies and treats standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, applies residual treatments to vegetation where they rest, and creates a protective barrier around outdoor living spaces. This approach reduces mosquito populations significantly rather than just repelling them temporarily.
Our program also includes flea and tick treatment at no additional cost. Since these pests often share similar habitats and treatment methods, combining services provides better value and more comprehensive protection for your family and pets during outdoor activities.
