You get your life back when pests are gone for good. No more sleepless nights wondering what’s crawling around your walls. No more embarrassment when friends come over. No more worrying about your family’s health or your property value taking a hit.
With 26 years of experience, Roger and our First Choice team know exactly how to eliminate the pests that plague Elsie homes. We’re talking about real results—the kind where you actually sleep through the night again and stop checking corners for unwanted visitors.
Your home becomes the sanctuary it’s supposed to be. Clean, safe, and completely under your control.
We’ve been protecting Elsie families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and that experience shows in the results.
This is a family business that actually cares about the community. We’re not some corporate chain that rotates different technicians through your home every month. You get the same professional every time—someone who knows your property, remembers your specific pest issues, and builds a relationship with you.
We’ve earned our reputation through Angie’s List and Home Advisor awards, but more importantly, through two decades of solving pest problems that other companies couldn’t handle.
First, we inspect your property thoroughly. Not just the obvious spots—we’re looking for entry points, moisture issues, and conditions that attract pests in the first place. This isn’t a quick walk-through; it’s a comprehensive assessment.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan based on what we actually found, not some generic template. Every home in Elsie faces different challenges, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.
Then we implement the solution using integrated pest management techniques. We’re certified professionals who know which methods work best for Michigan’s specific pest problems. Finally, we monitor and adjust as needed, keeping the same technician on your account so nothing falls through the cracks.

You’re getting specialized services that most Elsie exterminators can’t offer. Our canine bed bug detection puts us in an exclusive group—fewer than 100 companies nationwide have this capability. When you’re dealing with bed bugs, early detection means the difference between a small problem and a major infestation.
We also bundle services intelligently. Our mosquito program automatically includes flea and tick treatment at no extra charge, because we understand how these pests interact in Michigan’s climate.
For seniors, veterans, and first responders, we offer meaningful discounts. And if you find a reasonable competitor’s rate that’s lower, we’ll match it. We’re confident in our value, but we’re also fair about pricing.
We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond the same day when you contact us before noon. Pest emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we.
For situations like wasp nests near entryways or rodent infestations that pose immediate health risks, we understand the urgency. Roger has been handling Michigan pest emergencies for over two decades, so he knows which situations truly can’t wait.
We keep our schedule flexible enough to accommodate genuine emergencies while still maintaining our commitment to existing customers. When you’re dealing with pests that could harm your family or damage your property, hours matter.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the United States with trained canine bed bug detection. This isn’t just a marketing gimmick—it’s a game-changer for accuracy.
Dogs can detect bed bugs in early stages and in locations that human inspectors often miss. They can smell a single live bug or viable eggs, which means we catch infestations before they explode into major problems.
Most exterminators rely on visual inspections alone, which miss about 30% of early infestations. By the time you see obvious signs like blood spots or live bugs, you’re already dealing with a significant problem that’s much more expensive to eliminate.
Absolutely. You’ll work with the same professional technician year after year, not whoever happens to be available that day. This consistency is crucial for effective pest control.
Your regular technician knows your property’s specific vulnerabilities, remembers which treatments worked best, and can spot new problems before they become serious infestations. They build a relationship with you and understand your family’s particular concerns.
Unlike companies that use part-time college students or rotate staff constantly, we invest in long-term professional relationships. When your technician knows that moisture issue in your basement or that gap under your back door, they can provide much more effective service.
Spring brings carpenter ants as they emerge from winter hiding spots and start establishing new colonies in damp wood. We also see increased mouse and rat activity as they venture out looking for food sources.
Summer is prime time for stinging insects like wasps and hornets, plus mosquito populations peak during Michigan’s humid months. This is also when bed bugs spread most rapidly due to increased travel and visiting.
Fall triggers the big indoor migration—rodents, spiders, and occasional invaders like boxelder bugs all seek warm shelter before winter. Many homeowners don’t realize their pest problem started in October until they’re dealing with a full infestation in January.
We use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize safety while maintaining effectiveness. This means targeting pests at their source and using the least toxic methods that will still eliminate the problem completely.
We explain exactly which products we’re using, where we’re applying them, and what precautions you should take. Most of our treatments allow families and pets to return to treated areas within hours, not days.
Our experience with Elsie families has taught us that parents want honest communication about safety, not vague reassurances. We provide specific timelines and clear instructions because your family’s wellbeing is non-negotiable.
We’ll match any reasonable competitor’s written quote for comparable service in the Elsie area. The key word is “comparable”—we make sure we’re comparing apples to apples in terms of treatment methods, coverage area, and service frequency.
Some companies offer suspiciously low prices by cutting corners on inspection time, using inferior products, or excluding common pest types from their standard service. We won’t compromise our quality to match those kinds of offers.
However, if a legitimate local competitor provides a detailed quote for the same level of professional service we offer, we’ll match their price. We’re confident that our 20 years of experience and specialized services like canine bed bug detection provide exceptional value.
