You shouldn’t have to dread going to bed in your own home. When bed bugs are gone for good, your nights become yours again – no more waking up with mysterious bites, no more anxiety about what’s lurking in your mattress, no more embarrassment when guests come over.
Professional bed bug control means you get your life back. Your family sleeps safely, your home feels like sanctuary again, and you stop wasting money on sprays and treatments that don’t work.
Real bed bug elimination requires expertise that understands their biology, hiding spots, and breeding cycles. That’s exactly what you get with First Choice Pest Control.
We’ve been protecting Genesee County families for nearly 20 years. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things differently than the competition.
You get the same experienced technician every visit – not a rotating cast of part-time college students. We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor, plus we maintain integrated pest management training that most competitors skip.
Genesee County residents face unique pest challenges throughout the year, from spring carpenter ants to summer mosquitoes to fall rodent invasions. We understand these local patterns and have the expertise to handle bed bug problems that other companies struggle with.
First, we inspect your property thoroughly using both visual inspection and our specialized canine bed bug detection service. Our trained dogs can detect live bed bugs and viable eggs with 96% accuracy – far better than visual inspection alone.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan based on the extent of infestation and your specific situation. Different properties require different approaches, and we don’t use cookie-cutter solutions that work for some homes but fail for others.
We implement the treatment using proven methods that target bed bugs at all life stages. This includes treating hiding spots that DIY methods can’t reach and using products that actually work against bed bugs that have developed resistance to common store-bought sprays.
Finally, we monitor results and provide follow-up service if needed. Bed bug elimination isn’t complete until your home stays bed bug-free, which is why we stand behind our work with guarantees other companies won’t offer.

Your bed bug control service includes comprehensive inspection, targeted treatment, and ongoing monitoring. Most importantly, you get access to our canine bed bug detection service – we’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering this specialized capability.
Genesee County properties often deal with bed bug problems that start small but spread quickly through apartments, hotels, and single-family homes. Our canine detection finds infestations in early stages when treatment is more effective and less expensive than waiting until you can see bugs crawling around.
You also get the same technician for every visit, which means someone who knows your property and can spot changes or potential problems. This consistency delivers better results than companies that send whoever’s available each time.
We offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders, plus price matching against reasonable competitor rates. You shouldn’t have to choose between quality service and fair pricing.
Professional bed bug treatment in Genesee County typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 for a complete home treatment, depending on the size of your property and extent of infestation. Single room treatments start around $300-500 for minor infestations caught early.
The cost depends on several factors: how many rooms are affected, whether bed bugs have spread to furniture and belongings, and what treatment methods are needed. Heat treatments tend to cost more upfront but often require fewer follow-up visits than chemical treatments alone.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates. Many customers find that investing in professional treatment actually saves money compared to months of ineffective DIY attempts plus potential furniture replacement costs.
Complete bed bug elimination typically takes 2-6 weeks depending on the severity of infestation and treatment method used. You’ll usually see significant reduction in bed bug activity within the first week, but complete elimination takes time because of their breeding cycle.
Bed bug eggs hatch 6-9 days after being laid, so follow-up treatments are often necessary to catch newly hatched nymphs before they mature and start reproducing. This is why companies that promise overnight solutions often fail – real bed bug control requires understanding their biology and lifecycle.
Our canine detection service helps speed up the process by finding infestations early when they’re easier to eliminate. We also provide realistic timelines upfront rather than making promises we can’t keep, because rushing the process usually means the problem comes back.
Yes, we’re one of the only Michigan bed bug companies offering a 6-month warranty on all bed bug extermination services. This means if bed bugs return within six months of treatment, we come back at no charge to re-treat the problem.
Most pest control companies won’t offer guarantees this comprehensive because bed bug elimination is challenging and they don’t want to risk having to provide free follow-up service. We can offer this guarantee because of our specialized detection methods and proven treatment protocols.
The guarantee covers the specific areas we treated, and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered during your initial consultation. We also provide guidance on preventing re-infestation from external sources like travel or visitors, which isn’t covered under any company’s guarantee since it’s outside our control.
Our trained detection dogs can find bed bugs at all life stages – including single eggs – with over 95% accuracy. Human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of bed bug infestations, especially in early stages when populations are small and hiding in hard-to-reach places.
Dogs can smell bed bug pheromones at concentrations humans cannot detect, even in tiny cracks and crevices behind electrical outlets, inside furniture joints, or along carpet edges. This means we find problems before they become major infestations that cost thousands to eliminate.
We’re among fewer than 100 pest control companies nationwide offering certified canine detection, giving Genesee County residents access to technology typically only available in major metropolitan areas. This service helps us create more targeted treatment plans and reduces the overall cost of elimination by catching problems early.
Yes, we use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize the safest effective methods for your family and pets. Most treatments allow you and your pets to return to treated areas within a few hours, and we explain any precautions you should take.
We focus on targeted applications, baits, and exclusion methods rather than broad-spectrum spraying whenever possible. Our technicians are trained in proper application techniques and product selection, and we explain what products we’re using and where we’re applying them.
We also offer eco-friendly treatment options for families who prefer botanical-based or low-toxicity solutions. These products are derived from natural sources but still provide effective bed bug control. The key is using the right approach for your specific situation rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Don’t panic, but don’t wait either. Bed bugs multiply quickly – one female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime, and populations can explode from a few bugs to hundreds within months. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive treatment becomes.
Don’t try moving furniture or throwing things away, as this often spreads bed bugs to other areas of your home. Store-bought sprays and foggers typically make the problem worse by causing bugs to scatter into new hiding spots while developing resistance to the chemicals.
Call us for a professional inspection using our canine detection service. We can usually schedule inspections within 24-48 hours, and you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with rather than guessing. Early detection and professional treatment are always more effective and less costly than waiting until the problem becomes obvious.
