Hear from Our Customers
You know what’s frustrating about most pest control companies? Different technician every time. Different approach every visit. You end up explaining your ant problem or that recurring spider issue 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. No more starting from scratch every few months.
What you get is pest control that actually builds on previous visits instead of treating each one like the first time we’ve ever been there. Your technician knows where the problem spots are, what’s worked before, and what to watch for based on your property’s history.
First Choice Pest Control has been serving Metamora since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of experience to every job, and we’ve earned integrated pest management certification along with a 4.7-star rating from over 363 customers.
We’re not the biggest pest control company in Michigan, but we’re the one that keeps the same technician with you year after year. We know Metamora’s unique pest pressures – from the seasonal mouse invasions when fall hits to the mosquito challenges that come with our abundant wetlands and wooded areas.
This is a family-owned business that serves both residential and commercial customers throughout the area. We believe in taking care of the people who’ve served our community, which is why we offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
First, we inspect your property to identify pest entry points, problem areas, and contributing factors. Most people miss the obvious spots – clogged gutters that become mosquito nurseries, gaps around utility lines where mice squeeze through, or mulch beds where ticks and fleas establish territory.
Then we develop your customized pest control program based on your property, your pest pressure, and your specific concerns. We’re not showing up with a one-size-fits-all spray routine that every other company uses. Residential customers get targeted treatments for ants, spiders, rodents, bed bugs, and seasonal pests. Commercial properties get discreet, effective management that won’t disrupt business operations.
Our mosquito programs automatically include flea and tick treatment because we know outdoor pest problems rarely exist in isolation. Why pay extra for services that should work together from the start? We handle your complete outdoor pest management as one integrated solution.

Michigan has unique challenges that make professional pest control more critical than in other states. We have 40 different mosquito species here, and our climate – with abundant wetlands, frequent rainfall, and heavily wooded areas around Metamora – creates ideal breeding conditions year after year.
More importantly, we have serious health risks. West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis are both active in Michigan, with EEE having a 30% fatality rate and causing permanent neurological damage in many survivors. These aren’t just nuisance pests – they’re potential disease vectors that can seriously harm your family.
We’re one of under 100 companies in the U.S. offering canine bed bug detection services. Our approach targets the specific species that are problematic in our area and addresses the environmental factors that make Michigan such a pest haven. Whether you’re dealing with the brown marmorated stink bugs that have become Michigan’s newest nemesis or the seasonal rodent invasions that hit every fall, we understand local pest behavior patterns.
For most pest problems, you’ll see noticeable results within 24-48 hours of the first treatment. The timeline depends on what we’re dealing with – stinging insects and mosquitoes respond quickly, while rodent problems might take a few days to a week for complete elimination.
We understand that some pest problems can’t wait, especially when you’re dealing with stinging insects, rodent infestations, or bed bugs. That’s why we prioritize emergency calls and can usually get to your property the same day or next day for urgent situations.
For ongoing pest pressure, our regular maintenance programs prevent problems before they become infestations. Most customers see dramatic improvement within the first month and complete control by the second or third visit.
Yes, we service both residential properties and commercial businesses throughout the Metamora 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 reputation and disrupt operations, so we work quickly and professionally to resolve issues without drawing attention. Whether you’re dealing with a restaurant, office building, retail space, or industrial facility, we customize our approach to meet your specific needs and regulatory requirements.
Many of our commercial clients have been with us for years because consistency and reliability matter even more in business settings. The same technician learns your facility’s unique challenges and develops long-term prevention strategies.
Yes, once the treatment dries – which takes about 30-45 minutes – your pets and kids can safely use the treated areas. We use EPA-registered products that are specifically approved for residential pest control applications around families.
During treatment, we ask that pets and people stay inside, just as a precaution while the product is being applied. This isn’t because the products are dangerous, but because it’s best practice to avoid exposure during application. Many of our customers have been using our service for years with dogs, cats, and young children without any issues.
We’re happy to discuss the specific products we use and provide safety data sheets if you want to review the technical details. Our integrated pest management approach focuses on prevention and targeted treatments rather than blanket chemical applications.
The biggest difference is targeting and consistency. DIY sprays from the hardware store are designed for immediate knockdown – they kill the pests you can see right now, but they don’t prevent new ones from moving in within days.
Our approach targets the entire pest lifecycle. We identify and treat breeding sites, resting areas, and entry points that most homeowners miss. For example, most people spray visible ants but never address the colony or the conditions attracting them in the first place.
Professional treatment also means understanding pest behavior patterns. Mosquitoes don’t just randomly fly around – they have specific resting spots during the day, preferred breeding sites, and predictable movement patterns. We target these behaviors rather than just spraying randomly and hoping for the best.
Most residential customers benefit from treatments every 6-8 weeks during active pest season, which runs from April through October in Michigan. The exact schedule depends on your specific pest pressure, property conditions, and the types of pests we’re targeting.
Some situations require more frequent visits initially – active rodent infestations, bee problems, or heavy mosquito pressure might need weekly treatments until we get control. Once we establish a baseline, we typically move to a maintenance schedule that prevents problems rather than just reacting to them.
Commercial properties often need monthly service due to higher pest pressure and regulatory requirements. We customize the frequency based on your business type, foot traffic, and local pest conditions. The goal is consistent protection without over-treating or under-protecting your property.
Yes, we stand behind our work with service guarantees that vary depending on the type of treatment. For most general pest control services, if pests return between scheduled visits, we’ll come back at no additional charge to re-treat the affected areas.
For specific problems like bee removal or rodent control, we offer 90-day guarantees on the initial treatment. If the problem persists or returns within that timeframe, we’ll return to address it without additional service charges.
We also offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates, so you’re getting fair pricing along with guaranteed results. Our goal is long-term pest control relationships, not one-time treatments, so we make sure you’re satisfied with both the service and the results before considering the job complete.
