No more scanning your kitchen before making breakfast, checking for ant trails that weren’t there yesterday. No more explaining to guests why you can’t use the deck because wasps claimed the overhang. No more lying awake listening to scratching sounds in the walls.
When pest control actually works, you stop thinking about pests entirely. Your kids play in the yard near Pettibone Lake without mosquito swarms driving them back inside. You open cabinets without bracing for what might scurry out. You sleep through the night because mice aren’t exploring your kitchen.
Effective pest management means treating for what’s coming next, not just reacting to what’s already inside. Spring carpenter ants emerging from Milford’s mature tree canopy, summer mosquitoes breeding after Michigan rains, fall stink bugs seeking warmth before winter hits. We’re already addressing seasonal pressures before they become your problem.
You get your property back without the constant vigilance that comes from wondering when pests will return.
Roger started First Choice Pest Control on May 31, 2005, but he’d already spent years eliminating pests across Oakland County. Twenty-six years of experience means we’ve handled every infestation Milford properties face, from carpenter ants damaging historic downtown homes to rodents invading newer subdivisions along Milford Road.
Most companies rotate technicians like they’re interchangeable parts. You explain your pest problem to someone new every visit, and they treat your property like every other house on their route. We assign one technician to your account who learns your property’s specific vulnerabilities, remembers where you’ve had problems before, and adjusts treatments based on what actually works for your situation.
We’re one of under 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection. Our integrated pest management training and awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor reflect our commitment to doing this right. We offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders because protecting those who’ve served our community matters.
Family-owned businesses either earn trust through results or disappear. We’ve been here twenty years because Milford homeowners keep calling us back.
We start with a thorough inspection of your property, identifying active infestations, entry points, and conditions attracting pests. This isn’t a quick walk-around. We’re examining foundation cracks common in older Milford homes, checking moisture levels in basements near the Huron River, and looking for the specific factors that make your property vulnerable.
Your treatment plan addresses your property’s actual needs. Homes backing to wooded areas near Kensington Metropark face different pest pressure than properties in established neighborhoods around downtown. Commercial buildings require discreet treatments that won’t disrupt operations or alarm customers. We customize our approach instead of using the same spray routine everywhere.
The same technician handles every visit. They know your property’s history, what’s worked before, and what needs adjustment. No repeating yourself to strangers who don’t remember your situation. Your technician builds on previous treatments, creating increasingly effective protection as they learn your property’s patterns.
We monitor results and adapt as conditions change. Pest pressure shifts with Michigan’s seasons, weather patterns, and property changes. Your program evolves to stay effective rather than following a rigid schedule that ignores what’s actually happening on your property.

Your pest control program gets built around your property’s specific challenges and your concerns. We handle ants, spiders, rodents, bed bugs, stinging insects, and seasonal invaders common throughout Oakland County.
Residential customers get targeted treatments for the pests actually affecting Milford homes:
Milford’s location creates unique pest challenges. Properties near the Huron River deal with higher moisture levels attracting ants and spiders. Homes in subdivisions between Commerce Road and GM Road face seasonal invasions as temperatures shift. Historic downtown properties built before 1980 have foundation vulnerabilities that modern construction doesn’t.
Commercial properties get discreet, effective management that maintains your professional reputation. Whether you’re operating a downtown Milford business or managing an office complex, we schedule treatments around your operations and provide documentation for regulatory compliance.
We offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates because we’re confident in our value. Twenty years serving Milford means we understand what works in this specific environment.
We typically provide same-day or next-day service for urgent situations depending on when you call and current demand. Stinging insects near entry points, active rodent infestations, or bed bug discoveries need immediate attention before problems escalate.
Yellow jacket nests on your deck, mice in your kitchen, or wasps clustering around doors create safety concerns that can’t wait days for resolution. We prioritize emergency calls because we understand how quickly these situations affect your family’s comfort and safety.
Non-emergency pest issues usually get scheduled within two to three business days. If you’re dealing with something that poses immediate health or safety risks, call us directly and we’ll work to get someone to your Milford property as quickly as possible.
Yes, and this consistency creates significantly better results than rotating technicians. Most pest control companies send whoever’s available, meaning you explain your situation to strangers every visit who don’t know your property’s history or specific challenges.
Your assigned technician learns your property over time. They remember where you’ve had ant problems before, which areas attract spiders, how moisture affects your basement, and what treatments work best for your specific situation. They notice changes that rotating technicians would miss completely.
This approach means better protection and less frustration for you. No more repeating your pest history to people reading from corporate scripts. Your technician builds on previous treatments instead of starting from scratch every visit, creating increasingly effective long-term pest control for your Milford property.
We handle all common Michigan pests including ants, spiders, rodents, bed bugs, mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, stink bugs, and seasonal invaders. Milford properties specifically deal with carpenter ants damaging wood structures, mice seeking indoor shelter during cold months, and mosquitoes breeding near water sources like the Huron River and local lakes.
We also provide specialized services including canine bed bug detection, making us one of under 100 companies nationwide with this capability. This allows us to locate bed bug infestations with accuracy that visual inspections alone can’t achieve, especially in early stages when populations are small.
Your treatment targets the specific pests affecting your property rather than using generic approaches. Different areas of Milford face different pest pressures depending on proximity to wooded areas, water sources, and neighboring properties, so your treatment plan gets customized accordingly based on your property’s actual vulnerabilities.
Yes, we use integrated pest management approaches that prioritize safety while maintaining effectiveness. Our treatments focus on targeting pests where they live and breed, often emphasizing exterior applications that prevent pests from entering rather than widespread indoor spraying throughout your home.
We always explain any precautions needed during or after treatment. Most exterior treatments don’t require you to leave your home, and we schedule around your family’s routine to minimize disruption. Our technicians apply EPA-approved products according to label instructions and use proper application methods to reduce exposure.
If you have specific concerns about children, pets, or family members with sensitivities, we can discuss those during your initial consultation. We’ll customize our approach for your situation and explain exactly what products we’re using and what precautions make sense for your household.
Yes, we stand behind our work with service guarantees. If pests return between scheduled treatments, we’ll come back at no additional charge to address the problem. Specific guarantee terms depend on the type of service and pest issue you’re dealing with.
For example, if we treat a wasp nest and you’re still seeing activity after a few days, we’ll return to retreat or investigate further at no cost. Our goal is complete elimination of your pest problem, not just temporary reduction in activity that returns weeks later.
We also offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates because we’re confident in our value. Twenty years serving Milford and hundreds of satisfied customers throughout Oakland County demonstrate our commitment to getting results that last, not just making a sale and disappearing.
Most Milford properties benefit from quarterly treatments, but this varies based on your specific pest pressure, property conditions, and seasonal factors. Some customers prefer monthly service during peak pest season from spring through fall, then reduce frequency during winter when outdoor pest activity decreases.
Properties backing to wooded areas or dealing with moisture issues often need more frequent attention. Commercial properties typically require monthly service to maintain consistent protection and meet regulatory requirements depending on your business type and local health department standards.
We don’t lock you into rigid contracts. Your service frequency can adjust based on results and changing needs. Some customers start with more frequent treatments to get problems under control, then reduce to maintenance schedules once pest pressure decreases. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your situation, not what maximizes our revenue.
