ABOUT Us

1st Choice Pest Solutions is a family-owned and operated based out of Mondovi, Wisconsin, founded by Lloyd Katusky.

Our Story

A Legacy of Expertise and Family Values

Meet Lloyd Katusky, our founder whose journey into pest control began as a young apprentice beside his father in rural Minnesota. Through years of hands-on experience in his dad’s landscaping business, which included pest control services, Lloyd honed his skills and developed a deep passion for the industry.

In 2015, drawing from his extensive knowledge gained from a national pest control brand, Lloyd decided it was time to carve his own path. With a commitment to excellence and affordability, he founded 1st Choice Pest Solutions, offering top-tier residential and commercial pest control services to Wisconsin families and businesses.

In 2016, Lloyd welcomed his son-in-law, Mike Ness, as Co-Owner, and his daughter, Colleena Ness, as Office Manager, cementing 1st Choice Pest Solutions as a testament to familial dedication and teamwork.
