Hear from Our Customers
You’re not lying awake wondering if those scratching sounds mean you’ve got rodents chewing through your insulation. You’re not embarrassed when neighbors visit because ants keep appearing on your kitchen counter. You’re not rushing your kids inside every summer evening because wasps built another nest under your eaves.
Instead, you’re using your whole property without thinking twice. Your basement stays dry and pest-free even during Michigan’s wet springs. Your older home along Saginaw Street doesn’t become a winter refuge for field mice migrating in from surrounding farmland.
Professional pest control means one less thing demanding your attention. No more hardware store trips for products that don’t work. No more wondering if this year’s infestation will be worse than last year’s. Just a home that stays protected through every Michigan season.
We’ve protected homes throughout Genesee County for twenty years, understanding exactly how Michigan’s harsh winters and humid summers create pest pressure that changes with every season. Roger’s 26 years of hands-on experience means he’s seen every pest problem Montrose properties face.
Here’s what makes us different:
We’re not part-time college students learning on your property. We’re experienced professionals who’ve earned recognition from Angie’s List and Home Advisor for doing this work right.
Your technician starts with a thorough property inspection, checking both obvious problem areas and the hidden spots where pests actually live and breed. We’re looking at your foundation for entry points, examining crawl spaces common in older Montrose homes, and identifying what’s attracting pests to your property in the first place.
Based on what we find, we create a treatment plan personalized to your situation. Maybe you need our specialized canine bed bug detection before guests arrive for the holidays. Maybe it’s perimeter treatments timed before field mice start seeking indoor shelter in October. Maybe it’s comprehensive mosquito control that includes free flea and tick treatment for your yard.
Your assigned technician implements the plan and monitors results over time. They know your property’s vulnerabilities, understand which pests hit hardest during different seasons, and adjust treatments as conditions change. If something isn’t working perfectly, they catch it early and make corrections—no waiting for you to call with complaints.

Montrose’s location in Genesee County creates distinct pest challenges throughout the year. Spring brings carpenter ants targeting moisture-damaged wood in older homes. Summer means mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus and aggressive wasps building nests in soffits and eaves. Fall drives field mice from surrounding agricultural areas into homes along the Saginaw Street corridor seeking winter shelter.
Our comprehensive service covers the full range of Michigan pest problems:
We handle both residential and commercial properties, understanding that downtown Montrose businesses face different challenges than homes with crawl spaces and basements built before 1970.
Most Montrose homeowners pay between $110 and $250 quarterly for comprehensive pest protection, or $40 to $70 monthly if you prefer that schedule. One-time treatments for specific problems typically run $100 to $600 depending on the pest type and infestation severity.
Several factors affect your actual cost: property size and age, severity of the current infestation, type of pest requiring treatment, and whether you need exclusion work to seal entry points. Older homes with crawl spaces and multiple access points generally require more extensive initial treatment.
We provide free inspections and upfront estimates before starting any work. We also offer price matching if you find a comparable quote from a licensed competitor, plus discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
Carpenter ants top the list for Montrose homes, especially those built before 1970 with moisture issues in crawl spaces or basements. They’re most active spring through fall, targeting wood that’s already damaged by Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Field mice and rats become serious problems every fall as they migrate from surrounding agricultural areas into homes seeking winter shelter. Box elder bugs, stink bugs, and cluster flies invade in September and October, clustering on sunny walls before finding entry points.
Summer brings mosquitoes, ticks carrying Lyme disease, wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. Spiders including brown recluse become more visible during warmer months. We also handle termites, cockroaches, and bed bugs, though these aren’t as seasonal.
Michigan’s distinct seasonal pest cycles make regular service more effective than one-time treatments for most Montrose properties. Spring treatments prevent carpenter ants and termites from establishing colonies. Fall treatments stop rodents before they move indoors for winter. Summer coverage handles mosquitoes, ticks, and stinging insects.
One-time treatments work for specific emergencies like wasp nest removal or addressing a current rodent problem. But without ongoing prevention, you’re likely dealing with new infestations every few months as different pests become active.
Quarterly programs provide the best value and protection, addressing each seasonal pest wave before it becomes a problem. Your technician adjusts treatments based on what’s actually happening at your property, not a generic schedule.
We provide same-day or next-day service for most emergency situations in Montrose, depending on when you call and the nature of the problem. Stinging insects near entryways, rodents in food preparation areas, and bed bugs spreading through bedrooms get priority scheduling.
Emergency response matters most during peak seasons—wasp problems in July and August, rodent invasions in October and November, and ant swarms in spring. We understand these situations can’t wait for next week’s opening in the schedule.
For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule within 2-3 business days. Either way, you’re getting the same experienced technician who’ll handle your property going forward, not whoever happens to be available for emergency calls.
Our integrated pest management approach prioritizes your family’s safety while effectively eliminating pests. We use EPA-approved products applied in targeted areas where pests live and travel, not broadcast spraying throughout your living spaces.
Most treatments allow pets and children back into treated areas within 2-4 hours once surfaces dry. We’ll give you specific timing based on which products we’re using and where we’re applying them. Many exterior perimeter treatments don’t require you to leave at all.
We’re trained in methods that minimize chemical exposure while maximizing pest control effectiveness. For customers with specific health concerns or chemical sensitivities, we discuss alternative approaches during the initial inspection and create treatment plans that address your particular situation.
Verify the company holds current licensing from Michigan’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development—you can check this online. Confirm they carry proper liability insurance protecting you if something goes wrong. Ask whether you’ll get the same technician consistently or random workers each visit.
Find out what their warranty actually covers and how quickly they’ll return if pests come back between scheduled treatments. Get clear pricing information upfront, not vague estimates that balloon once work starts. Ask about their experience with Michigan-specific pests and seasonal patterns.
Watch for red flags like pressure to sign long-term contracts immediately, unwillingness to provide proof of licensing and insurance, or inability to explain their treatment methods. Reputable companies answer questions directly and provide references from local customers.
