Rose Pest Solutions has its roots in our nation's oldest pest management company - Rose Exterminator Co., originally known as Rose Rat Exterminator Co., founded by Solomon Rose around 1860 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Reports show that Rose sold large quantities of pyrethrum powders to the Union Army during the Civil War to kill "cooties" (body lice).
In 1867, Rose formulated a phosphorous paste for cockroach and rodent control. He also developed a spray gun, a powder duster, and formulated Rose's Rat Embalmer, a colored arsenate trioxide. These products were retailed, sold by mail order, and peddled door to door from a cart. The business' first expansion came in 1955 when an office opened in Grand Rapids.

Out of approximately 4,000 known species of cockroaches worldwide, 30 are associated with human habitations and about five are frequent pests in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. It is important to know which cockroach you are dealing with. Different species live in different habitats, behave very differently, and prefer different foods.
Stinging insects include bees, wasps, yellowjackets and hornets, all belonging to the order of insects known as Hymenoptera, which also includes ants. Most stinging insects are considered beneficial pollinators as long as they are not posing a threat to people or property. It's important to properly identify the type of stinging insects you have to determine if they are aggressive and the best way to remove them.

I have wolf, or wood spiders they are HUGE and get into the house as soon as summer is over. For the past TWO years I've had Bill from Rose spray exterior and interior. Both years, these HUGE spiders don't get in once he sprays! I'm petrified of this type of spider and go full panic attack if I see one. In my opinion, Bill is the BEST exterminator I know. Thanks Bill. I'm no longer anxious about seeing them inside. You're the best!!

Kevin from Rose Pest has treated my home for about 2 years now. He is respectful of our property and always lets us know when he will be coming out so we can take down any bird feeders, let the dogs out, etc. The chemicals Rose Pest uses seem to be more effective than other companies I've used in the past for ants and spiders and it only requires annual spraying versus three times a year. Definitely recommend! :-)

Grant From Rose pest control came very quickly, on the same day I called, to take care of an aggressive yellow jacket ground nest that was located next to our front door. He was very professional and knowledgeable in how to take care of our situation. Rose provided great service at an affordable price and was quick to action ensuring our needs were met right away. I would definitely use them again.
