Hear from Our Customers
You walk outside without grabbing bug spray first. Your kids play in the yard without getting eaten alive. You actually finish your morning coffee on the deck instead of rushing back inside.
That’s what happens when mosquito control is done right. Our treatments don’t just knock down a few mosquitoes for a couple days—they target breeding sites and create lasting barriers that keep your property comfortable for weeks.
You get your outdoor spaces back. Your family gets protection from West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases that have been spreading across Michigan. And you get peace of mind knowing the same experienced technician handles your property every time.
We’re First Choice Pest Control, and we’ve been protecting Lapeer families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of pest control experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation by doing what bigger companies won’t—keeping the same technician on your account year after year.
We’re not some franchise operation that sends out part-time college kids. We’re your neighbors. We live here, work here, and understand exactly what Lapeer property owners deal with when it comes to mosquitoes and ticks.
Our integrated pest management training and awards with Angie’s List and Home Advisor back up what our customers already know: we show up when we say we will, we do the work right, and we stand behind it.
First, we inspect your property to identify breeding sites and mosquito harborage areas. We’re looking for standing water, dense vegetation, and the spots where mosquitoes actually live and reproduce—not just where you see them flying around.
Next, we apply targeted treatments to these areas using professional-grade products that create barriers lasting weeks, not days. We treat the places mosquitoes rest during the day and the water sources where they breed.
Finally, we return every three to four weeks throughout mosquito season to maintain protection. Same technician, same attention to detail, same results. If you see activity between visits, we come back at no extra charge.

Our mosquito control program includes flea and tick treatment at no extra charge—important protection since Lyme disease has been spreading across Michigan in recent years. You get comprehensive pest control that addresses the real threats to your family’s health and comfort.
We serve both residential and commercial customers throughout Lapeer with personalized treatment programs. Every property is different, and we adjust our approach based on your specific needs, not some cookie-cutter plan.
Michigan’s mosquito season has been getting longer due to climate change, with West Nile virus cases reported across the state every summer since 2002. Our seasonal programs run from late spring through early fall, keeping you protected when mosquitoes are most active.
Our professional treatments typically provide 3-4 weeks of protection, depending on weather conditions and mosquito pressure. We schedule follow-up visits every 21-28 days during peak season to maintain consistent control.
Heavy rain won’t wash away our treatments once they’ve dried, but extended wet periods can increase mosquito breeding and may require additional attention. That’s why we include callback service at no extra charge if you notice increased activity between scheduled visits.
The key is consistent treatment throughout mosquito season, not just one-time applications that leave gaps in protection.
West Nile virus is the primary concern in Michigan, with cases reported every summer since 2002. Eastern Equine Encephalitis is less common but more dangerous, and both have been detected in animals throughout the state in recent years.
Jamestown Canyon virus has also been found in Michigan mosquitoes. While most people who get infected don’t develop symptoms, those who do can experience serious illness including brain inflammation.
Professional mosquito control significantly reduces your family’s exposure risk by eliminating the mosquitoes that carry these diseases, especially the species that bite during daytime hours when you’re most likely to be outside.
Seasonal mosquito control typically ranges from $350-600 for average residential properties, depending on yard size and treatment frequency. We provide upfront pricing with no surprises or hidden fees.
We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, plus discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Most customers find the investment worthwhile when they can finally use their outdoor spaces without constant bug spray and swatting.
One-time event treatments for parties or special occasions start around $150-200. We’ll provide a free estimate based on your specific property and needs.
We adjust our treatment approach based on current conditions, weather patterns, and any changes to your property. The same experienced technician handles your account, so they know your property’s specific challenges and mosquito hot spots.
Some areas need attention every visit—like dense shrubs where mosquitoes rest and any standing water sources. Other areas might only need treatment when conditions change, like after heavy rain creates new breeding sites.
This personalized approach is why we don’t use part-time technicians who are learning your property from scratch every time. Consistency in both service and results comes from having someone who knows your specific situation.
Yes, when applied correctly by trained professionals. We use EPA-approved products and follow all safety protocols for application around homes with children and pets.
We’ll advise you on any precautions needed during application and how long to keep kids and pets inside afterward—typically 30-45 minutes while the treatment dries. Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal use.
Our integrated pest management training includes proper product selection and application techniques that maximize effectiveness while minimizing exposure risks. We’re happy to discuss any specific concerns about your family’s situation.
We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re seeing significant mosquito activity between scheduled treatments, we’ll return at no extra charge to address the problem.
However, complete elimination isn’t realistic—mosquitoes can travel from neighboring properties, and new ones can move in after treatment. Our goal is significant population reduction that lets you enjoy your outdoor spaces comfortably.
Most customers see 80-90% reduction in mosquito activity within 24-48 hours of treatment. The key is maintaining consistent protection throughout the season, not expecting one treatment to solve the problem permanently.
