Hear from Our Customers
You shouldn’t have to share your home with unwanted invaders. When professional exterminator services handle your pest problems, your space becomes yours again.
No more jumping at every sound in the walls. No more wondering if that ant you saw means thousands more are coming. No more avoiding your own backyard because of mosquitoes or wasps.
With effective pest control, your family can relax, your property stays protected, and you can focus on what actually matters in your life. Your home becomes the safe haven it should be.
First Choice Pest Control has served St. Charles area families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things differently than other pest control companies.
You get the same technician every time, 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.
St. Charles residents face unique seasonal challenges. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots. Summer means mosquitoes, ticks, and stinging insects. Fall drives rodents indoors as temperatures drop. We understand these local patterns and adjust treatments accordingly.
Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your entire property, both inside and outside. Your technician identifies current pest activity, entry points, and conditions that could lead to future problems.
Next comes the targeted treatment using integrated pest management techniques. We focus on prevention first, targeting the source of problems rather than just treating symptoms. This approach delivers longer-lasting results than generic spray-and-pray methods.
Finally, ongoing monitoring and adjustment ensure your protection stays effective. Seasons change, pest pressures shift, and your property evolves. Your technician stays ahead of problems before they become infestations, with free callbacks if pests break through between scheduled visits.

Our exterminator services include comprehensive treatment for the full range of Michigan pests. Carpenter ants, mice, spiders, mosquitoes, wasps, bed bugs, and other common invaders all get addressed with targeted approaches specific to each species.
St. Charles properties often deal with carpenter ants that tunnel through wood structures during spring months. These pests are among Michigan’s most prominent species, creating galleries in moist wood without actually eating it like termites do.
The area also sees significant rodent pressure as fall temperatures drop. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, making thorough exclusion work essential. Our service includes strategic sealing of entry points plus ongoing monitoring to prevent new invasions.
You get the same trained technician for every service visit, not a different person each time who doesn’t know your property. This consistency means better results because your technician learns your home’s unique challenges and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your specific situation.
We also offer specialized services most competitors don’t provide. Our canine bed bug detection service puts First Choice among fewer than 100 companies nationwide with this capability. These trained detection dogs can find bed bugs at all life stages with over 95% accuracy, compared to about 30% for visual inspection alone.
Additionally, our mosquito programs automatically include flea and tick treatment at no extra charge. This comprehensive approach provides better value and more complete protection for your family and pets.
Most pest emergencies can be addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations like stinging insect nests or active rodent infestations. Response time depends on the specific pest and severity of the situation.
Stinging insects receive immediate priority because of the health risks they pose. Michigan sees thousands of hospitalizations annually from wasp and hornet stings, making professional removal essential for family safety. Carpenter ants damaging your home structure also get priority treatment.
When you call, you’re talking directly to our local team, not a call center. This means getting a realistic timeframe right on the phone and having someone assess the situation quickly rather than waiting for callbacks from distant offices.
St. Charles faces distinct seasonal pest pressures that change throughout the year. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter hiding spots in wood structures. These are among Michigan’s most prominent ant species and can cause significant structural damage if left untreated.
Summer means peak activity for mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and stinging insects like wasps and hornets. The humid summers create ideal breeding conditions, especially around standing water sources. Fall drives rodents like mice and rats indoors as they search for warm shelter before winter.
Year-round pests include spiders, cockroaches, and occasional invaders like stink bugs and boxelder bugs. The brown marmorated stink bug has become Michigan’s newest pest problem, though they’re mainly bothersome during seasonal transitions rather than causing structural damage.
Yes, our service includes a satisfaction guarantee with free callbacks if pests break through between scheduled visits. You’re not paying extra because a treatment didn’t hold up as long as expected – we stand behind our work.
If pests return during your service period, we come back at no additional charge to address the problem. This isn’t just a marketing promise – it’s how we actually operate because prevention-focused treatments should provide lasting protection.
Our guarantee reflects confidence in the integrated pest management approach. Rather than just spraying and hoping, our treatments target pest sources and breeding areas for longer-lasting results. Most customers maintain excellent control throughout their service period because our methods actually work.
Our initial inspection covers your entire property, both inside and outside, looking for current pest activity and conditions that could lead to future problems. Your technician examines common entry points around foundations, utility lines, window and door frames, and other vulnerable areas.
Inside, the inspection focuses on areas where pests typically hide or travel – along baseboards, around plumbing penetrations, in basements and attics, and near food storage areas. We also identify moisture issues that attract pests and structural conditions that might need attention.
This thorough assessment takes time because it’s the foundation for effective treatment. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of findings and recommended treatment approaches. Our inspection isn’t disruptive to your daily routine, but it is comprehensive enough to catch problems before they become major infestations.
Yes, we service both residential properties and commercial businesses throughout the St. Charles area. Commercial pest control requires a different approach – treatments need to be discreet, scheduled around business hours, and comply with industry regulations depending on your business type.
We understand that pest problems can damage your business reputation and disrupt operations, so we work quickly and professionally to resolve issues without drawing unwanted attention. Whether you’re dealing with a restaurant, office building, retail space, or industrial facility, treatments get customized to meet specific needs and regulatory requirements.
Many commercial clients have continued service for years because consistency and reliability matter even more in business settings. Our same-technician approach works especially well for commercial accounts because your service provider learns your facility’s unique challenges and can work around your operational schedule.
