No more jumping at every sound in the attic wondering what’s moved in for winter. No more avoiding your backyard because mosquitoes have claimed it as their territory. No more lying awake listening to scratching sounds in your walls.
When exterminator services are done right, you get your space back completely. Your kids play outside without becoming mosquito magnets. You sleep soundly knowing carpenter ants aren’t slowly destroying your home’s structure. You invite people over without scanning the room first, hoping nothing decides to make an appearance.
Real pest control isn’t about killing a few bugs and hoping for the best. It’s about creating lasting protection that lets you live comfortably in your own home again.
First Choice Pest Control has been protecting Montrose families since 2005. We aren’t some national chain that sends different technicians every time. Roger leads our team with 26 years of hands-on experience dealing with Michigan’s unique pest challenges.
When you call First Choice Pest Control, you get the same certified professional every visit who knows your property and understands exactly what pests are common in Genesee County. We have earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because we do what we say we’ll do.
Living in Montrose means dealing with seasonal pest pressures that many companies don’t understand. The wooded areas bring squirrels and raccoons looking for attic space. Spring brings ants indoors, and summer brings stinging insects. We handle all of it with methods that work in Michigan’s specific climate.
First, your dedicated technician conducts a thorough inspection of your property. We check all potential entry points, identify current pest activity, and look for conditions that attract pests. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we examine every area where pests could be getting in.
Next, we create a customized treatment plan based on what we find. We use integrated pest management techniques that target the root of the problem, not just the pests you can see. Then we treat the problem areas with professional-grade materials that are safe for your family and pets.
Your technician explains exactly what we’re doing and why, so you understand the process every step of the way. You receive a detailed report of what we found, what we treated, and what you can do to prevent future problems. We also schedule your next visit and provide direct contact information so you can reach us quickly if new issues arise between scheduled visits.

Your pest control program covers the full spectrum of pests that actually matter in Montrose. From ants and spiders to rodents and stinging insects, your technician handles whatever shows up on your property. Montrose’s location in Genesee County means dealing with specific challenges like mosquitoes that can carry West Nile Virus and ticks that transmit Lyme Disease.
Our mosquito program includes flea and tick treatment at no extra charge—something most companies charge separately for. Wildlife control covers everything from bats in the attic to raccoons in the garbage, using humane removal methods and sealing entry points to prevent return visits.
For bed bugs, we offer canine detection service that pinpoints infestations before they spread throughout your home. We are one of fewer than 100 companies in the entire United States with this specialized service, giving Montrose residents access to the most advanced pest detection available. This saves thousands in potential damage and replacement costs by catching problems early.
Most emergency calls in Montrose get same-day or next-day service, depending on the situation and time of call. We understand that pest problems create enough stress without unreliable service making things worse.
When you call with an urgent issue, you’re talking to people who can make decisions immediately. There’s no need to check with corporate headquarters or follow rigid protocols that might not fit your situation. Twenty years in business means we have learned that your time matters as much as solving your pest problem.
For non-emergency issues, appointments are usually scheduled within a few days to a week, depending on current demand and weather conditions. What you won’t get is last-minute cancellations or vague arrival windows. When we commit to a time, we show up.
You get the same certified technician every visit, not whoever happens to be available that day. This isn’t just a convenience—it’s a better way to manage your pest control. Your technician knows your property, remembers what treatments worked, and can spot new problems quickly.
National chains rotate technicians constantly, meaning you’re explaining your situation to strangers every time. Our technician becomes familiar with your specific pest history and what works on your property. We use trained professionals, not part-time college students working summer jobs.
This consistency means better results because your technician understands Michigan pest behavior, seasonal patterns, and the most effective treatment methods for the local climate and conditions. We notice changes that rotating strangers would miss completely.
We include both flea and tick treatment with our mosquito control program at no additional charge. Most companies charge separately for tick control, but we recognize that Michigan residents need protection from both pests.
Our treatment targets breeding areas around your property and creates a protective barrier that reduces mosquito and tick populations significantly. This is especially important in Genesee County, where these pests can carry serious diseases like Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus.
Your technician also identifies and eliminates standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, and treats areas where ticks commonly hide. Our program runs during active season, typically April through October, with treatments timed to maximize effectiveness against both pests.
Yes, we use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize safety while still being highly effective against pests. Treatments are applied in targeted areas where pests travel, not throughout your entire living space.
We explain exactly what materials are being used and provide specific instructions for keeping your family and pets safe during and after treatment. Professional-grade materials are selected based on their effectiveness against pests while maintaining the highest safety standards for your household.
Your technician will discuss any special precautions needed based on your specific situation, such as if you have young children, pregnant family members, or pets with health conditions. The goal is complete pest elimination with complete peace of mind about your family’s safety.
We don’t lock you into binding contracts. You stay with us because our service works, not because you’re stuck in a contract. This approach reflects our confidence in delivering results that keep customers satisfied.
We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates and provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. You’ll always know what to expect before any work begins, with clear explanations of what’s included in your service.
If your pest situation changes or you need to adjust your service level, we work with you to find solutions that fit your needs and budget. Our focus is on building long-term relationships through excellent service, not trapping customers in agreements they can’t change.
Montrose residents typically deal with seasonal ant invasions every spring, carpenter ants that can damage wood structures, and mosquitoes and ticks from May through September. The wooded areas around Montrose attract squirrels and raccoons looking for attic space, especially during colder months.
Stinging insects like wasps and yellowjackets are common during summer months, often building nests in eaves and overhangs. Mice and rats seek indoor shelter as temperatures drop, and bed bugs can be transported into homes through travel or secondhand furniture.
Our canine bed bug detection service is particularly valuable for Montrose residents because it identifies infestations before they spread throughout the home. Understanding these local pest patterns allows us to provide targeted treatments that address the specific challenges Genesee County properties face throughout the year.
