Morning coffee on the deck without getting swarmed. Kids playing outside until dark instead of running inside after five minutes. Weekend gatherings where guests aren’t constantly swatting and complaining about bites.
This is what happens when mosquito control actually works. Our barrier treatments target the adults you see and the breeding sites you don’t, eliminating up to 90% of mosquito populations for weeks at a time.
Your outdoor investment becomes usable again. No more choosing between enjoying your property and protecting your family from the diseases these pests carry – diseases that are confirmed present in Michigan counties every year.
Roger founded First Choice Pest Control in 2005 with 26 years of industry experience. We’ve spent twenty years learning what works in Michigan’s unique climate and what doesn’t.
Morrice properties face specific challenges. Wooded lots create ideal mosquito habitats. Seasonal weather patterns bring massive populations every summer. Standing water from spring rains provides perfect breeding conditions.
You get the same experienced technician year after year – not a rotating cast of part-time workers who don’t know your property. Someone who understands your specific challenges and adjusts treatments accordingly.
We start with a thorough property inspection, identifying breeding sites, resting areas, and problem zones. This isn’t a quick walk-around – we examine vegetation, standing water sources, and microclimates where mosquitoes actually live.
Treatment targets these specific areas with barrier applications that eliminate existing populations on contact while preventing new mosquitoes from establishing territory. We treat vegetation, shaded areas, and moisture zones where mosquitoes rest during daylight hours.
Ongoing monitoring ensures protection lasts throughout the season. Your technician returns every 3-4 weeks, adjusting strategies based on weather conditions and local mosquito activity. If breakthrough occurs between visits, we return at no charge.

Your mosquito control program addresses every area where mosquitoes breed, feed, and rest. We treat vegetation up to 10 feet high, dense ground cover, landscaping features, and standing water sources throughout your property.
Morrice’s location means dealing with multiple mosquito species that peak at different times. Culex mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus. Aedes species that bite aggressively during the day. Each requires different treatment approaches for effective control.
Flea and tick treatment comes included at no additional cost. These pests share similar habitats with mosquitoes, so integrated treatment provides better value and more comprehensive family protection than treating each separately.
Our barrier treatments typically eliminate 85-90% of mosquito populations within 24-48 hours and maintain that reduction for 3-4 weeks under normal conditions. You’ll notice the difference immediately – fewer mosquitoes means you can actually use your outdoor spaces.
Effectiveness depends on proper application timing and technique. We treat before populations explode rather than waiting until you have a problem. This proactive approach prevents multiple generations from breeding on your property.
Michigan’s weather patterns can affect treatment duration, which is why we schedule applications every few weeks during peak season. Your technician monitors local conditions and adjusts timing when necessary to maintain maximum protection.
Michigan mosquitoes can transmit West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and heartworm disease in dogs. These aren’t theoretical risks – the Michigan Department of Health confirms positive cases in state counties every year.
West Nile Virus causes fever, headache, and body aches in most people, but can lead to serious neurological complications in some cases. Eastern Equine Encephalitis is less common but more severe, with a 30% fatality rate according to CDC data.
Professional mosquito control isn’t just about comfort anymore – it’s about health protection. Reducing mosquito populations significantly decreases your family’s exposure risk to these serious diseases.
Yes, when applied by trained professionals following EPA guidelines. We use integrated pest management principles that maximize effectiveness while minimizing exposure to people and pets.
We recommend staying inside during application and until treatments dry, typically 30-60 minutes depending on conditions. Once dry, treated areas are safe for normal family activities including children playing and pets roaming.
Your technician discusses any specific concerns during the initial consultation. We can adjust application timing and methods to accommodate your family’s schedule, pets, or anyone with sensitivity concerns.
Investment varies based on property size, mosquito pressure, and treatment frequency needed for your specific situation. Most Morrice homes benefit from treatments every 3-4 weeks during mosquito season, typically May through September.
We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden fees. We also offer price matching against licensed competitors and discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders who’ve served our community.
Consider the alternative costs: constantly buying ineffective repellents, avoiding your own outdoor spaces, potential medical expenses from mosquito-borne diseases, and reduced property enjoyment during Michigan’s short summer season.
Store-bought sprays and foggers provide temporary knockdown but don’t address breeding sites where new populations develop. You’re constantly fighting the same battle because you’re only treating symptoms, not the source.
Professional treatment uses commercial-grade products and targeted application methods unavailable to consumers. We understand mosquito biology, breeding cycles, and seasonal patterns specific to the Morrice area.
Most importantly, we know where and when to treat for maximum impact. Effective control requires treating the right areas at the right times with the right products – expertise developed through years of experience with Michigan’s unique pest pressures.
Absolutely. If mosquitoes break through between scheduled treatments, we return at no charge to address the problem. Our goal is season-long protection, not just temporary relief from individual treatments.
We’ve served Michigan families for twenty years because our approach works. Most customers see dramatic mosquito reduction within 24-48 hours, with continued improvement as we eliminate breeding sources throughout the season.
You get the same technician year after year – someone invested in solving your specific mosquito problems rather than just completing another service call. This consistency ensures treatments improve over time as your technician learns your property’s unique challenges.
