Hear from Our Customers
Most people call us after they’ve already tried to handle it themselves. A few traps, some spray from the hardware store, maybe a plug-in repellent. And then the mice are back in November, or the ants are in the kitchen again by June. That cycle ends when the source of the problem gets addressed — not just the surface of it.
For Middletown residents, the pest pressure is real and it comes from multiple directions. The Shiawassee River running just north of town creates standing water and riparian vegetation that mosquito populations thrive in all summer long. That’s not a generic talking point — it’s the specific geography of where you live. Meanwhile, the crop fields and agricultural land surrounding Caledonia Township push rodents toward residential structures every fall when temperatures drop and harvests wrap up. Mice don’t disappear when the fields clear — they look for the nearest warm building, and older homes along M-71 are exactly what they find.
When pest control is done right, you stop reacting and start living without it on your mind. No more wondering what’s in the walls. No more tossing and turning over whether that bite was a bed bug. You get your home back — and it stays that way.
We’ve been serving mid-Michigan since May 31, 2005 — which means in 2025, we’re celebrating our 20th year in business. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because the work is done consistently, our technicians are trained professionals, and our customers keep coming back.
Roger Chinault leads our company with 26 years of hands-on pest control experience. He’s not a corporate figurehead — he’s the person who built this business and still stands behind every job. We hold IPM training certification, BBB accreditation, and have earned awards through both Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor. Those aren’t decorations — they’re the result of doing right by real customers in Middletown, Corunna, Owosso, and throughout Shiawassee County.
We’re not a franchise rotating in from out of state. We’re a Michigan-rooted company that understands what pest pressure looks like in this specific part of the state — and we’ve been solving it for two decades.
It starts with a real assessment of your property — not a quick walkthrough and a generic quote. Because a home backing up to agricultural fields on the edge of Caledonia Township has different pest exposure than a property closer to the river corridor. The inspection is the foundation. It tells us where the pressure is coming from, what’s getting in, and what conditions are making your home attractive to pests in the first place.
From there, we build a personalized program around your home specifically. We use Integrated Pest Management — which means the approach starts with the least invasive treatment that will actually work, and escalates only when necessary. That matters if you have kids, pets, or concerns about what’s being applied inside your home. IPM isn’t a buzzword here — it’s the certified methodology we’re trained in and committed to.
Once treatment is underway, you’ll see the same technician every visit. Not a rotating crew, not a seasonal hire who learned the job last month — the same trained professional who knows your property, your history, and your specific concerns. Shiawassee County’s seasonal pest cycles are predictable, and your technician will stay ahead of them so you don’t have to think about it.

We handle the full range of pest problems that Middletown residents actually deal with — mosquitoes, rodents, ants, bed bugs, wasps, stink bugs, and more. Every program is built around your specific home and what it’s up against, not a standardized package designed somewhere else.
Our mosquito program is worth calling out specifically. Because of Middletown’s proximity to the Shiawassee River, mosquito pressure here runs higher than in fully inland communities. Our mosquito program includes flea and tick treatment at no extra charge — one call covers the full picture for families and pet owners spending time outdoors. If you’ve been dealing with carpenter ants, that’s also a priority pest in this area. Older homes along the M-71 corridor, combined with the moisture conditions near the river, create exactly the kind of environment carpenter ants exploit. Catching that early prevents real structural damage.
For bed bug concerns, we offer something almost no other company in Michigan can: certified canine detection. Our trained dogs identify infestations with 95–98% accuracy, compared to roughly 50% for traditional visual inspections. Michigan ranks second in the nation for bed bug infestations, and early, accurate detection changes the outcome entirely. We also offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, plus discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders — because in a community like Middletown, that matters.
The Shiawassee River running just north of Middletown is the main reason. River corridors create exactly the conditions mosquitoes need to breed — standing water in floodplains, dense riparian vegetation, and seasonal flooding that leaves moisture behind long after the water recedes. Residents living within a half-mile of the river consistently deal with heavier mosquito pressure than people in fully inland communities, and that pressure builds fast once temperatures climb in June.
Store-bought repellents can reduce your exposure temporarily, but they don’t address the breeding cycle. Our professional mosquito program treats your property at the source — targeting the areas where mosquitoes are actually reproducing, not just where you’re standing when you get bitten. Our program also includes flea and tick treatment at no additional cost, which is a real value for families and pet owners who spend time in the yard throughout the summer.
Rodents are persistent, and most DIY exclusion efforts miss the entry points that actually matter. A mouse can fit through a gap the size of a dime, and they’re motivated — especially in fall when the crop fields surrounding Caledonia Township clear out and temperatures drop. Agricultural land is natural rodent habitat, and when that habitat becomes less hospitable, the nearest warm residential structure becomes the target. It happens every year in communities like Middletown, and it’s not random.
Effective rodent control requires a thorough inspection of your home’s exterior — foundation gaps, utility penetrations, roofline vulnerabilities, and areas where settling or aging has created new openings. We identify the actual entry points, not just the obvious ones, and address both the access problem and the active infestation. Sealing without treating what’s already inside is only half the job, and it’s why a lot of DIY attempts don’t hold.
This is one of the most common questions, and it’s a fair one. We hold Integrated Pest Management training certification — IPM is the EPA-recognized standard for responsible pest control, and it’s built around using the least invasive treatment that will actually solve the problem. That means before anything is applied, the approach starts with identifying the source, modifying conditions that attract pests, and targeting treatments precisely where they’re needed rather than broadly throughout your home.
For families in Middletown with dogs, cats, or young children, this approach matters. You’re not getting a blanket chemical application and a handshake — you’re getting a plan that accounts for who lives in your home. Your technician will walk you through exactly what’s being used, where it’s being applied, and what precautions to take during and after treatment. If you have specific concerns about a product or application method, those conversations happen before anything starts.
A traditional visual bed bug inspection catches an infestation roughly 50% of the time. That’s not a knock on the inspector — bed bugs are small, they hide in wall voids, mattress seams, electrical outlets, and furniture joints that are genuinely difficult to access and examine thoroughly. A missed inspection doesn’t mean you’re clear. It often just means the infestation has more time to grow before it’s caught.
Certified detection dogs operate at a different level entirely. Their sense of smell is trained specifically to identify live bed bugs and viable eggs, and they achieve 95–98% accuracy in controlled studies. We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the entire United States to offer this service. In Michigan — which ranks second in the nation for bed bug infestations — that kind of accuracy is the difference between catching a problem early and dealing with a full-scale infestation that’s spread through multiple rooms. If you have any suspicion at all, canine detection gives you a definitive answer instead of a guess.
Cost varies depending on what you’re dealing with, the size of your property, and whether you need a one-time treatment or an ongoing program. A single targeted treatment for a specific pest issue will run differently than a comprehensive recurring program that covers multiple pest categories throughout the year. The honest answer is that there’s a range, and the only way to get an accurate number is to have your property assessed.
What we can tell you upfront: we offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, so if you’ve already gotten a quote from another provider, bring it. We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders — and in a community like Middletown, where those groups make up a meaningful part of the population, that’s a real reduction, not a token one. The cost of professional pest control also looks different when you’re comparing it against the alternative — carpenter ant damage to structural wood, a bed bug infestation that’s spread to multiple rooms, or a rodent problem that’s been ignored through two winters.
Middletown is squarely within our service area. Shiawassee County — including communities along the M-71 corridor between Corunna and Owosso — is part of the region we’ve been actively serving for twenty years. You don’t need to drive to Owosso to find a qualified pest control company, and you don’t need to settle for a national franchise brand that treats your call like a ticket number.
The reality is that smaller communities like Middletown often get underserved by large pest control chains that concentrate resources in higher-density markets. We operate differently — as a family-owned, owner-operated business, our service area is built around the communities where people actually live, not just the zip codes that generate the most volume. If you’re in Middletown and dealing with a pest problem, the process is the same as anywhere else: a real assessment, a real plan, and a technician who shows up and knows what they’re doing.
