Bed Bug Treatment Process

Simple Process, Complete Elimination

First, the inspection. Our certified canine detection team identifies exactly where bed bugs are hiding – even single eggs the size of a grain of salt that human eyes miss.

Next comes the treatment plan. Most cases use heat treatment that raises your home’s temperature to levels bed bugs can’t survive. The heat penetrates into every crack, crevice, and hiding spot, killing bed bugs at every life stage from egg to adult.

The process typically takes one day. You’ll need to leave during treatment, but you can return the same evening. No multiple visits, no waiting weeks to see if it worked. The heat does what chemicals can’t – reaches everywhere bed bugs hide and eliminates them completely in a single session.

Bed Bug Heat Treatment

What's Included in Your Service

Your bed bug control service includes canine inspection, comprehensive heat treatment, and follow-up verification. Our canine detection identifies infestations other methods miss, while heat treatment eliminates bed bugs without harsh chemicals.

Michigan homes face unique challenges with bed bugs due to seasonal travel patterns and multi-unit housing common in the area. Heat treatment works especially well in Clyde’s older homes where bed bugs hide in wall voids and cracks that chemical sprays can’t reach.

We cover your entire home – not just bedrooms. Bed bugs spread throughout houses, hiding in living rooms, closets, and even electrical outlets. Heat treatment addresses the whole infestation, not just the obvious spots.

You can’t tell just by looking at bites – many people don’t react to bed bug bites at all. The only way to confirm bed bugs is finding a live bug or having a professional inspection.Look for small blood spots on sheets, dark spots that are bed bug fecal matter, and rusty stains on bedding. You might find small wingless bugs in mattress seams, bed frames, or furniture cracks. Some people notice a sweet, musty smell with heavy infestations.The problem is bed bugs are experts at hiding. They’re the size of an apple seed when fully grown, but younger bed bugs can be as small as a sesame seed and nearly transparent. Professional canine detection finds bed bugs human inspections miss 60-70% of the time.
Bed bug foggers and most over-the-counter sprays are ineffective because they don’t reach where bed bugs actually hide. Bed bugs live deep in mattress seams, behind headboards, inside electrical outlets, and in wall cracks – places surface sprays can’t penetrate.Modern bed bugs have also developed resistance to many chemicals. They can survive over 1,000 times the pesticide levels that killed bed bugs just 10 years ago. When they sense chemical treatments, they flee deeper into wall voids and return later.Store treatments often make the problem worse by causing bed bugs to scatter throughout your home. Instead of staying in one area, they spread to multiple rooms, making professional treatment more difficult and expensive.
Most homes can be treated in 6-8 hours, depending on size and infestation level. The process involves gradually raising your home’s temperature to 140-145°F and maintaining that heat long enough to kill all bed bugs and eggs.You’ll need to leave during treatment along with pets, but you can typically return the same evening. Heat-sensitive items like candles, crayons, and certain electronics should be removed beforehand, but most belongings can stay.Unlike chemical treatments that require multiple visits over several weeks, heat treatment eliminates the entire infestation in one session. There’s no waiting to see if it worked – the heat kills bed bugs immediately at all life stages.
Heat treatment is completely chemical-free and safe for families, pets, and most belongings. The process uses the same principle as a clothes dryer – just applied to your entire home.Most furniture, clothing, and household items are unaffected by the treatment temperatures. Items that could be damaged include wax products, vinyl records, certain plastics, and some electronics. Your technician will provide a complete list of items to remove.There are no chemical residues, no odors, and no health risks. Children and pets can return as soon as the house cools down. This makes heat treatment ideal for homes with allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivities.
Treatment cost depends on your home’s size, infestation severity, and treatment method chosen. Heat treatment typically costs more upfront than chemical treatment but often saves money long-term by eliminating the problem in one visit.We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. The investment is significant, but consider the cost of replacing mattresses, furniture, and dealing with ongoing infestations.Most customers find professional treatment costs less than trying multiple DIY approaches that don’t work. When you factor in lost sleep, stress, and the time spent on ineffective treatments, professional service provides better value and guaranteed results.
Properly executed heat treatment eliminates existing bed bugs, but it doesn’t prevent new infestations from outside sources. Bed bugs are hitchhikers – they travel on luggage, used furniture, clothing, and can even crawl between apartments or hotel rooms.The key is early detection if new bed bugs are introduced. Regular inspections, especially after travel or bringing used items home, help catch problems before they become major infestations. Some customers schedule periodic canine inspections for peace of mind.Prevention involves checking hotel rooms when traveling, inspecting used furniture before bringing it home, and washing/drying clothes on high heat after trips. While bed bugs can return, professional treatment eliminates the current problem completely, giving you a fresh start.
