Over 44 Years of Pest Elimination:

1982: Pronto Pest Management is founded by Stephen Alcala and his wife Donna. 

1999: Pronto Pest Management handles its first bed bug infestations at two separate locations. At the time, bed bugs were just being reintroduced into the Metropolitan Detroit area, and full-blown infestations were neither expected nor widely recognized. Our team successfully treated and eradicated the infestations, helping residents return to a bed bug-free environment. 

2005: Professional exterminators gather in Chicago for a national seminar to discuss strategies for slowing the spread of bed bugs. Stephen Alcala (or Steve “Chico” Alcala), owner of Pronto Pest Management, quickly becomes one of the event’s standout speakers. Attendees listen intently for 45 minutes as he shares his firsthand experiences and treatment insights. 

Representatives from Pest Control Magazine and numerous pest control companies find Alcala’s insights highly informative and his treatment methods to be on the cutting edge of the industry. 

“It’s important to train the staff of multiple unit buildings, such as hotels and apartments and even  university dorms how to identify Bedbugs. Once you spot Bed Bugs you have to treat the problem right  away, because they spread quickly … they hitch rides on clothing and even people’s luggage, so they are easily transferred to other areas”. 

– Stephen Alcala 

2006: Bed bug cases surge across the country. During this time, Pronto Pest Management encounters an increasing number of major infestations in apartment buildings: 

“We soon discovered that although Pronto Pest could eliminate bed bugs in one apartment the pests were being reintroduced from neighboring units that were not being treated. It was then determined that all apartments in the building would have to be inspected.” 

– Stephen Alcala 

After recognizing the high costs and limited accuracy of human inspections, the need to research alternative detection methods was brought up. Ultimately, it was determined that trained scent-detection canines offered the most reliable approach for locating live bed bug activity. After treatment, the K-9 teams reinspect each unit to confirm complete elimination. 

Pronto Pest Management has grown into a true family operation. Steve’s children—Tricia, Crystal, and Jamie—have joined the team and hold prominent roles within the company, ensuring Pronto Pest Management will continue providing first-class pest control solutions to Michigan residents and businesses for years to come.
