You’ll step into your bedroom without that knot in your stomach. No more checking sheets before getting in bed or losing sleep over every small itch. Your family gets their peace of mind back, and your home becomes the safe space it should be.
Professional bed bug control eliminates the constant worry that comes with an infestation. Within days of treatment, you’ll notice the difference – no more waking up with new bites, no more finding blood spots on your sheets, no more avoiding your own bedroom.
The psychological relief is immediate. When bed bugs are gone, your entire household can relax again. Your property value stays protected, and you don’t have to worry about spreading the problem to friends or family who visit.
We’ve served Goodrich families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on pest control experience to every job, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way.
We’re not the company that sends different technicians to your property every visit. You get the same professional assigned to your account year after year – someone who knows your property and your concerns.
Awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor back up what our customers already know. We maintain integrated pest management training that most competitors skip, and we offer specialized services like canine bed bug detection that fewer than 100 companies nationwide provide.
We start with a thorough inspection using our trained detection dogs – technology that finds bed bugs at all life stages with over 95% accuracy. Human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of infestations, but our canine team locates even single eggs hidden in cracks and crevices.
Next, we develop a targeted treatment plan based on your specific infestation. This might include heat treatments that penetrate deep into furniture and mattresses, or chemical applications for severe cases. We treat all infested areas including headboards, carpets, baseboards, and any furniture where bed bugs hide.
Follow-up visits ensure complete elimination. Bed bugs are tough, and we don’t consider the job done until we’re certain they’re gone. If any activity appears between scheduled visits, we return at no additional charge. Your treatment includes ongoing monitoring and prevention tips to keep bed bugs from returning.

Your bed bug control service includes comprehensive interior and exterior inspection, targeted treatment of all infested areas, and ongoing monitoring until elimination is complete. We use both heat treatments and chemical applications depending on your situation, always focusing on the most effective approach for your specific infestation.
Goodrich properties face unique challenges with bed bug control. The area’s proximity to major travel routes means higher risk of introductions from hotels and transportation. Michigan’s climate allows bed bugs to survive year-round indoors, and they can live without feeding for up to a year, making professional detection crucial.
We provide specialized canine bed bug detection – a service offered by fewer than 100 companies nationwide. Our trained dogs can detect live bed bugs and viable eggs with 96% accuracy, finding infestations in early stages when treatment is more effective and less expensive. This technology gives Goodrich residents access to detection methods typically only available in major metropolitan areas.
Professional bed bug treatment typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 for complete elimination, depending on the size of your home and severity of the infestation. Early detection and treatment cost significantly less than waiting until bed bugs spread throughout multiple rooms.
The investment pays for itself when you consider the alternative costs. Replacing infested furniture, potential medical expenses from bites, and the impact on your property value all add up quickly. Professional treatment eliminates the problem completely rather than just temporarily reducing it.
We offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. Most customers find that professional treatment costs less than they expected, especially when they factor in the guaranteed results and peace of mind.
Most bed bug infestations require 2-3 treatment visits over 4-6 weeks for complete elimination. The exact timeline depends on the infestation size and treatment method used. Heat treatments often work faster than chemical applications, but severe infestations may need multiple approaches.
You’ll typically see significant reduction in bed bug activity within the first week after treatment. However, bed bugs can survive without feeding for months, so follow-up visits ensure we catch any remaining bugs or newly hatched eggs. We don’t consider the job complete until we’re certain all bed bugs are eliminated.
Our canine detection helps speed up the process by finding infestations early when they’re easier to treat. The sooner you call for professional help, the faster we can get your home back to normal. Waiting only makes the problem worse and treatment more complex.
Yes, bed bugs spread easily throughout homes, especially when people try to handle the problem themselves. Moving infested items to other rooms or sleeping in different beds often makes the infestation worse by giving bed bugs new areas to colonize.
Bed bugs travel along walls, through electrical outlets, and even through small cracks between rooms. They’re excellent hitchhikers and will cling to clothing, bags, and furniture as you move between areas. An infestation that starts in one bedroom can quickly spread to living rooms, other bedrooms, and even neighboring apartments.
Professional treatment addresses the entire infestation area, not just where you’ve seen bugs. We inspect your whole home to identify all affected areas and treat them simultaneously. This prevents bed bugs from simply moving to untreated rooms and reestablishing themselves elsewhere in your house.
Preparation depends on the treatment method, but generally involves laundering all clothing and bedding in hot water, then drying on high heat for at least 30 minutes. Remove clutter from treated areas and vacuum thoroughly, especially around beds and furniture where bed bugs hide.
Don’t move items from infested rooms to clean areas – this spreads the problem. Instead, treat infested belongings in place or seal them in plastic bags until they can be properly treated. Your technician will provide specific preparation instructions based on your situation and treatment plan.
Most importantly, don’t try to treat the problem yourself before professional service. Over-the-counter sprays and foggers often make bed bugs scatter to new hiding spots, making professional treatment more difficult and expensive. The best preparation is calling for professional help as soon as you suspect bed bugs.
Common signs include small, red, itchy bites arranged in lines or clusters on exposed skin, blood spots on sheets or pillowcases, and dark or rust-colored stains on mattresses and furniture. You might also notice a sweet, musty odor in heavily infested rooms.
Look for physical evidence like shed skins, tiny brown or black spots (bed bug feces), and small dark stains along mattress seams, headboards, and baseboards. Bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and reddish-brown in color, but they’re excellent at hiding during daylight hours.
Our canine bed bug detection service provides definitive answers. Trained dogs can detect bed bug scent even when visual inspection finds nothing. This eliminates guesswork and ensures you’re not treating for a problem you don’t have – or missing an infestation that’s just getting started.
Store-bought products rarely eliminate entire bed bug populations. They might kill bugs on contact but won’t reach eggs hidden deep in furniture or wall voids. Bed bugs are increasingly resistant to many consumer-grade pesticides, and improper application often causes them to scatter to new hiding spots.
Professional treatment uses commercial-grade products unavailable to consumers, applied by technicians who know exactly where bed bugs hide and breed. We target the entire population, including eggs and nymphs, using methods that prevent resistance and reestablishment.
DIY attempts often make professional treatment more difficult and expensive. Bed bugs become more cautious after exposure to pesticides, hiding deeper and spreading further throughout your home. The money you spend on ineffective products could have gone toward professional treatment that actually works the first time.
