You shouldn’t have to share your home with ants marching through your kitchen or wonder what’s scratching in your walls at night. Professional pest control means you get your peace of mind back and your family stays safe from the health risks and property damage that come with infestations.
No more sleepless nights wondering if that sound was just the house settling. No more embarrassment when guests spot roaches or mice. Just a home that’s actually yours again.
When pest problems get handled right the first time, you save money on repeated treatments and avoid the stress of dealing with the same issues over and over.
First Choice Pest Control has been protecting Chesaning 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 rotating cast of part-time college students. No strangers showing up at your door who don’t know your property or your concerns. We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor, plus maintain integrated pest management training that most competitors skip.
Chesaning’s location in Saginaw County means dealing with seasonal pest pressures that require local expertise. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots. Summer means mosquitoes, ticks, and stinging insects. Fall drives rodents indoors as temperatures drop.
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.
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 problem.
We implement the treatment using proven methods and safe products, then monitor the 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 includes comprehensive interior and exterior treatment, ongoing monitoring, and free callbacks if pests break through between visits. We handle everything from ants and spiders to mice and mosquitoes.
Chesaning properties often deal with carpenter ants that tunnel through wood structures, mice that enter through small foundation cracks, and mosquitoes that make summer evenings miserable. Your technician understands these local challenges and has the tools to handle them.
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. Our mosquito programs include flea and tick treatment at no extra charge. Price matching ensures you get fair rates without sacrificing quality.
Most pest emergencies in Chesaning can be addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations like stinging insect nests or active rodent infestations. The 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 the local region specifically so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple areas.
When you call, we’ll assess your situation and give you a realistic timeframe. No generic “we’ll be there sometime this week” responses – you get a specific appointment window and a technician who shows up when promised.
Yes, you get the same trained technician for every service visit. 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.
We do the opposite. Your technician stays with you year after year, learns your property’s unique challenges, and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your specific situation.
Chesaning’s location means dealing with predictable seasonal pest pressures. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots, ready to tunnel through moisture-damaged wood. Summer activates mosquito breeding cycles, tick populations, and stinging insect activity.
Fall drives mice and rats indoors as temperatures drop. These rodents can squeeze through incredibly small openings around foundations, utility lines, and door frames. Many pest problems in Michigan are seasonal and ongoing, which is why consistent protection works better than one-time treatments.
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 situation.
Most pest problems see significant improvement within the first week, but complete elimination depends on what you’re dealing with. Ants and cockroaches typically respond quickly to treatment, while rodent problems might take 2-3 weeks to fully resolve as we eliminate the entire population.
We don’t give you false promises about overnight solutions. Real pest control takes time to work properly, and rushing the process often means the problem comes back. We’d rather give you realistic expectations upfront than surprise you later with bad news.
The timeline also depends on how extensive the infestation is and whether there are conditions around your property that keep attracting pests. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the initial inspection based on your specific situation.
Yes, First Choice offers discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. We believe the people who’ve served the community deserve recognition, and this is one way we can show appreciation.
We also provide price matching if you find a comparable service quote from a reputable competitor. You shouldn’t have to choose between quality service and fair pricing. If another licensed company offers the same level of service for less, we’ll match it.
The best value comes from our approach to preventing problems rather than just reacting to them. When you’re not dealing with recurring pest issues, you save money on emergency treatments and potential property damage.
We’re one of fewer than 100 pest control companies nationwide offering certified canine bed bug detection. 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. 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.
Visual inspections alone often miss small populations hiding in mattress seams, electrical outlets, or behind furniture. This specialized service gives Chesaning residents access to technology typically only available in major metropolitan areas.
