Hear from Our Customers
You stop jumping at every sound in the walls wondering if mice are back. Your kids play in the yard without mosquitoes driving them inside every ten minutes. You sleep through the night instead of wondering what’s crawling around your kitchen.
When pest control actually works—not just pushes problems around temporarily—your home becomes yours again. You host summer barbecues without apologizing for the bugs. Your family stays safe from disease-carrying rodents and ticks. You focus on living instead of constantly battling infestations.
Real pest elimination means addressing the source, not just spraying visible areas and hoping. In Howell’s climate, where fall drives rodents indoors and spring brings carpenter ants out of hiding, you need protection that adapts to seasonal pressures. That’s what consistent, knowledgeable service delivers.
Since 2005, we’ve protected families throughout Howell and Livingston County. Roger’s 26 years of field experience means you’re working with someone who’s seen every pest problem Michigan throws at homes—from carpenter ants in historic downtown properties to rodent invasions in newer subdivisions near Thompson Lake.
You get the same certified technician every visit. Not college students with spray bottles. Not whoever’s available that day. Your technician learns your property’s problem areas, knows what’s worked before, and spots developing issues before they become infestations. When you call with a concern, you’re talking to someone who already knows your history.
Our Angie’s List and Home Advisor awards came from delivering what we promise—no binding contracts, no hidden fees, just results. We offer price matching because we’re confident in our service quality. Seniors, veterans, and first responders receive special pricing as our way of giving back to the community we’ve served for twenty years.
We start with a thorough property inspection—interior, exterior, crawl spaces, and entry points most homeowners miss. We’re identifying where pests are getting in, what’s attracting them, and why previous treatments may have failed. Older homes in Howell’s historic district have different vulnerabilities than newer construction, and we account for those differences.
Treatment targets the root cause using integrated pest management techniques. We eliminate current infestations while cutting off food sources and sealing entry points. This isn’t about masking problems with temporary chemical barriers that wear off in weeks. We’re solving the underlying issues that allow pests to establish themselves.
Your technician returns on a schedule that matches Howell’s seasonal pest pressures. Fall means preventing rodent invasions before Michigan’s winter drives them indoors. Spring requires addressing carpenter ants emerging from dormancy. Summer brings mosquitoes and wasps. Your service adapts to what’s actually happening at your property, not a one-size-fits-all calendar. If pests break through between visits, we return at no charge.

Your service covers interior and exterior treatment, ongoing monitoring, and unlimited free callbacks between scheduled visits. We handle everything from ants and spiders to mice, wasps, and specialized wildlife control for larger intruders like raccoons and bats.
Howell properties face unique challenges. Proximity to Thompson Lake and surrounding wetlands creates consistent mosquito pressure from May through October. The wooded areas throughout Livingston County provide ideal habitat for carpenter ants and wood-boring insects. Older homes downtown have foundation gaps and crawl space issues that newer subdivisions don’t face. We adjust our approach based on your specific property characteristics and location.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection—trained dogs achieve 98% accuracy compared to 40% for visual inspection alone. Our mosquito programs include flea and tick treatment at no extra charge, particularly valuable in Howell where Lyme disease-carrying ticks are a documented concern. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees and match reasonable competitor rates. No binding contracts means you continue service because it works, not because you’re locked in.
Pest control costs in Howell depend on your property size, current pest pressure, and service frequency. Most Howell homes with standard lots do well with quarterly treatments. Properties near wooded areas or with moisture issues may need more frequent attention initially.
We provide clear upfront pricing with no hidden charges. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start work. We also offer price matching if you find comparable service from a legitimate competitor for less, plus special pricing for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
The real value comes from preventing problems rather than constantly reacting to them. When you’re not dealing with recurring infestations, you save money on emergency treatments and potential property damage from carpenter ants or rodents.
Howell’s location in Livingston County creates predictable seasonal pest patterns. Spring brings carpenter ants emerging from winter dormancy, plus pavement ants and other insects becoming active. Summer means peak activity for mosquitoes, ticks, wasps, hornets, and most flying insects.
Fall drives the biggest problems as temperatures drop—mice and rats seeking warm shelter, plus boxelder bugs and Asian lady beetles invading homes by the hundreds. These overwintering pests are Michigan-specific challenges that repeat every year.
Your technician knows which pests are active when and where they’re most likely to cause problems on your specific property. This local knowledge lets us stay ahead of seasonal infestations rather than just reacting after they’re established in your walls or attic.
Most pest emergencies in Howell get addressed within 24-48 hours of your call, often sooner for urgent situations like active wasp nests near entryways or rodent infestations posing immediate health risks. Our response time depends on the specific pest and severity.
Carpenter ants causing structural damage get priority treatment, as do any pests that pose health risks to your family. We keep our service area focused on Livingston County specifically so we can maintain faster response times than larger companies spread across multiple regions.
When you call, we assess your situation and give you a realistic timeframe—no generic responses. You get a specific appointment window and a technician who shows up when promised, not a four-hour window where you wait around all day.
Michigan’s seasonal pest cycles make ongoing protection more effective than one-time treatments. Spring carpenter ants, summer mosquitoes, fall rodent invasions, and winter indoor pest activity create year-round pressure that single treatments can’t address.
Regular service with the same technician means catching problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to eliminate. Your technician knows your property’s vulnerable areas and adjusts treatments as pest pressures shift with seasons.
That said, we don’t require binding contracts. Many customers choose ongoing service because consistent protection prevents problems before they start, but that’s your decision based on results you can see. You can cancel anytime if you’re not satisfied, though most continue because the relationship and results work better than reactive one-time treatments.
We use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize safety while delivering effective results. Our treatments target where pests live and enter, not blanket spraying throughout your home. This focused approach minimizes exposure while maximizing effectiveness.
Products we use are approved for residential application and applied according to strict safety protocols. We provide specific re-entry times and any necessary precautions before treatment. Most interior treatments allow re-entry within 2-4 hours once surfaces dry.
Your technician explains exactly what’s being applied, where, and why. If you have specific concerns about children, pets, or family members with sensitivities, we adjust our approach accordingly. Safety and effectiveness aren’t mutually exclusive when you’re working with experienced professionals who understand proper application methods.
Your initial inspection takes 45-90 minutes depending on property size and complexity. We examine interior areas where pests are active, exterior perimeter for entry points, and vulnerable areas like crawl spaces, attics, and foundation gaps common in Howell homes.
We’re looking for current pest activity, conditions that attract pests, and entry points you may not have noticed. Older homes downtown often have foundation settling and utility penetrations that create access. Newer properties might have landscaping or drainage issues that draw pests close to the structure.
After inspection, we explain what we found, what’s causing your pest problems, and our recommended treatment approach. You get upfront pricing before we start any work—no surprises or pressure tactics. If you choose to move forward, most initial treatments happen the same day.
