You shouldn’t have to check your sheets before getting into bed. Or wonder if those bites mean thousands more bugs are hiding in places you can’t see.
Professional bed bug control means you can actually sleep without that constant worry. No more jumping at every sound in the bedroom. No more avoiding your own furniture because you’re not sure what’s living in it.
When we eliminate your bed bug problem, you get back the one thing that matters most: the confidence that your home is truly yours again.
We’ve been serving Bridgeport since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things differently than the big companies.
You get the same technician every time, not a rotating cast of part-time college students. We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor, plus maintain integrated pest management training that most competitors skip.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection. That’s the kind of specialized service you get when you work with a family business that actually cares about results.
First, we bring in our specially trained detection dogs. These dogs can smell bed bug pheromones at levels 10,000 times more sensitive than human detection. They’ll search your entire home in minutes, not hours, and identify exactly where bed bugs are hiding.
Human technicians only catch about 30% of bed bug infestations during visual inspections. Our canine teams achieve 95-98% accuracy, which means we find problems other companies miss entirely.
Once we’ve pinpointed the infestation, we develop a targeted treatment plan. This might include heat treatment that reaches every crack and crevice, raising temperatures to levels that kill bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs. We don’t just treat symptoms – we eliminate the entire population.

Your service includes comprehensive canine inspection, targeted treatment based on the specific infestation we find, and follow-up verification to ensure complete elimination. We use unmarked equipment for discretion because we understand most people prefer privacy when dealing with bed bugs.
Bridgeport’s location in Saginaw County means dealing with bed bug challenges that have increased significantly in recent years. Michigan ranks among the worst states for bed bug activity, with Detroit at #3 and Grand Rapids at #7 on national lists.
Our approach addresses the reality that many Michigan bed bug populations have developed resistance to traditional chemical treatments. That’s why we use advanced heat treatment methods and biological controls that bed bugs cannot develop resistance to.
Our trained detection dogs achieve 95-98% accuracy in finding bed bugs, while human visual inspections alone only catch about 30% of infestations. This means there’s a 70% chance bed bugs are present even when a technician doesn’t see any visible signs.
Dogs can detect bed bug scent at concentrations far below what humans can identify, even in very early infestations before you see bite marks or other symptoms. They can smell through mattresses, inside furniture, and in wall voids where bed bugs commonly hide.
This level of accuracy is crucial because missing even a few bed bugs means the infestation will return. Our canine detection pinpoints exactly where bed bugs are concentrated, making treatment much more targeted and effective than guessing based on visual clues alone.
Bed bugs spread surprisingly fast because they’re excellent hitchhikers and hide during the day. A female bed bug can lay 5-20 eggs after each blood meal, and these eggs hatch within 6-10 days under the right conditions.
What makes them particularly problematic is their ability to travel through wall voids, electrical outlets, and along pipes between rooms. They don’t just stay in the bedroom where you first noticed them – they establish satellite colonies throughout your home.
Each hour of delay means more breeding and population growth. That’s why we prioritize rapid response for bed bug calls. Early detection and treatment prevent a small introduction from becoming a large, expensive infestation that requires whole-house treatment.
Many Michigan bed bug populations have developed significant resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, which were the standard treatment for decades. Some populations are so resistant they won’t die unless pesticide is applied directly to their bodies.
Bed bugs are also excellent at detecting chemical odors and will go into hiding when they sense danger. This survival behavior means surface sprays often miss the bugs entirely, and those that survive continue breeding once the chemical breaks down.
That’s why we use heat treatment and biological controls that bed bugs cannot develop resistance to. Heat penetrates every hiding spot and kills all life stages instantly. Bio-pesticides work through mechanisms that bed bugs cannot adapt to, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
Preparation depends on the treatment method, but generally involves washing and drying all clothing and bedding on high heat for at least 60 minutes. Items that can’t be washed should be sealed in plastic bags and either heated or frozen for specific time periods.
You’ll need to remove clutter from around beds and furniture to give our technicians clear access to treatment areas. This includes clearing items from under beds, removing items from dresser tops, and creating a clear zone around infested furniture.
For heat treatments, you’ll need to remove heat-sensitive items like medications, aerosols, and certain electronics. We provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your situation because proper prep is crucial for treatment success. Skipping steps can allow bed bugs to survive in untreated areas.
With professional heat treatment, bed bugs die immediately when exposed to lethal temperatures. However, complete elimination often requires follow-up inspections to ensure no bugs survived in protected areas or were reintroduced from neighboring units.
Most residential treatments show dramatic results within 24-48 hours. You should stop seeing live bugs and new bite marks almost immediately after treatment. Our canine detection can verify elimination within a few days once any residual scents dissipate.
We provide a 60-day guarantee because that’s how confident we are in our methods. If you see any bed bug activity during that period, we return at no charge to address the problem. Most customers never need follow-up service because our initial treatment is thorough and effective.
No, you typically don’t need to discard furniture or mattresses with professional treatment. Many companies recommend disposal because it’s easier than treating items properly, but that approach is expensive and often unnecessary.
Our heat treatment can eliminate bed bugs from mattresses, box springs, and furniture without damage to the items. We raise temperatures in a controlled manner that kills bugs but doesn’t harm your belongings. Mattress encasements can also be used to trap any remaining bugs.
The key is proper treatment technique and verification that the infestation is truly eliminated. We’ve successfully treated everything from antique furniture to expensive mattresses that customers thought they’d have to replace. Disposal should be a last resort, not the first recommendation.
