You deserve to sleep without checking for bites every morning. When bed bugs invade your Swartz Creek home, every night becomes a nightmare of itching, anxiety, and sleepless worry about what’s crawling on you while you rest.
Our professional bed bug exterminator service eliminates these blood-feeding pests completely – not just the ones you can see, but the hidden colonies breeding in your walls, furniture, and baseboards. You’ll wake up refreshed instead of covered in welts, knowing your family is protected from further infestation.
With our canine detection technology and targeted heat treatment methods, we find and eliminate bed bugs other pest control companies miss entirely. Your peace of mind returns the moment our comprehensive treatment is complete, and you can finally get the restful sleep you deserve.
We’ve been serving Swartz Creek families since 2005, and Roger’s 26 years of experience means you’re working with someone who’s encountered every type of bed bug infestation Michigan can throw at you. We’re one of under 100 companies in the United States offering professional canine bed bug detection services.
Unlike larger pest control companies that rotate different technicians through your home, we assign the same experienced professional to your property year after year. No part-time college students learning on your dime – just seasoned experts who understand how bed bugs behave in Michigan’s climate and housing conditions.
We’re family-owned, locally trusted, and we offer price matching because we know Swartz Creek residents deserve fair pricing. Our Angie’s List and Home Advisor awards reflect our commitment to getting your bed bug problem solved right the first time, with the personalized attention only a local company can provide.
First, we conduct a comprehensive inspection using our specially trained detection dogs to locate every bed bug hiding spot throughout your Swartz Creek home. These dogs can detect bed bugs hiding in walls, inside furniture, and in areas human inspectors typically miss during standard visual inspections.
Next, we implement targeted bed bug pest control treatment based on your specific infestation pattern and home layout. This might include professional heat treatment that raises room temperatures to levels lethal to bed bugs and their eggs, or strategic chemical applications in areas where heat treatment can’t penetrate effectively.
Finally, we provide thorough follow-up monitoring to ensure complete elimination of your bed bug problem. We don’t consider the job finished until you can sleep peacefully without a single bed bug remaining anywhere in your home. Our integrated pest management approach means we address the root cause of your infestation, not just the symptoms you’re currently experiencing.

Your bed bug pest control service includes comprehensive canine detection inspection, customized treatment plan development, professional application, and detailed follow-up monitoring. We use heat treatment, targeted chemical applications, or combination approaches depending on your specific infestation severity and home characteristics.
Swartz Creek’s proximity to Flint means bed bugs can easily spread through apartment complexes, neighborhoods, and shared housing situations. We understand these local infestation patterns and adjust our treatment methods accordingly to prevent re-introduction from neighboring properties. Our service covers all life stages of bed bugs – eggs, nymphs, and adults – ensuring complete population elimination.
We also provide detailed preparation guidance so you know exactly what to do before treatment day arrives. This includes specific laundering instructions for clothing and bedding, furniture preparation requirements, and temporary relocation procedures for heat-sensitive items like electronics and artwork. Every treatment plan is personalized because no two bed bug infestations are identical, especially in Swartz Creek’s mix of older homes and newer developments.
Professional bed bug treatment costs in Swartz Creek typically range from $1,000 to $4,000 depending on your home’s size, infestation severity, and treatment method required. We offer price matching for reasonable competitors’ rates, plus special discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
This investment covers complete elimination, not just temporary population reduction like DIY methods. Heat treatment for a single room starts around $1,000, while whole-home treatment for severe infestations can reach $4,000. We provide detailed written estimates after our canine inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we begin any work.
Remember that professional bed bug pest control services are an investment in your family’s health and peace of mind – the cost of professional treatment is far less than the ongoing expense of replacing mattresses, furniture, and dealing with continued sleepless nights.
Heat treatment provides immediate results – bed bugs and their eggs die within hours when exposed to temperatures above 120°F throughout your home. Chemical treatments may take 2-3 weeks for complete elimination as bed bugs gradually contact treated surfaces during their feeding cycles.
Most Swartz Creek homes require one comprehensive treatment session, though severe infestations or multi-unit properties might need follow-up applications. Our canine detection technology helps us determine the exact scope upfront, so we can give you realistic timelines rather than false promises.
You’ll typically see dramatic population reduction within 24-48 hours of treatment, with complete elimination confirmed during our scheduled follow-up inspection. The key difference with professional treatment is that it actually works – unlike store-bought sprays that often make the problem worse by causing bed bugs to spread to new areas.
You’ll need to leave treated areas for 4-5 hours after chemical applications, but can usually return the same day once ventilation is complete. Heat treatment requires evacuation during the 6-8 hour heating process, but you can return immediately once temperatures normalize to safe levels.
We coordinate treatment timing around your family’s schedule whenever possible. Many Swartz Creek families choose morning treatment appointments so they can return by evening. We’ll carefully remove or protect heat-sensitive items like electronics, artwork, and certain plastics before heat treatment begins.
Your mattress and furniture can typically be used immediately after treatment completion – no need to replace anything or sleep elsewhere for extended periods. We provide specific post-treatment instructions so you know exactly when it’s safe to resume normal activities in treated areas.
Our specially trained detection dogs can locate bed bugs with 96% accuracy compared to only 30% accuracy for visual inspections alone. We’re one of under 100 companies in the United States offering this advanced technology, and the only professional bed bug exterminator serving Swartz Creek with canine detection capabilities.
These dogs can smell bed bugs through walls, inside furniture, and in areas human inspectors simply can’t access or see. This means we find hidden infestations other companies miss entirely, preventing costly re-infestation from undiscovered colonies breeding in your walls or furniture.
Our detection dogs identify live bugs, eggs, and bed bug pheromones, giving us the complete picture of your infestation scope before treatment begins. This precision allows us to target treatment exactly where it’s needed, making our elimination process more effective and often less expensive than companies that guess at infestation locations.
Bed bugs don’t transmit diseases like mosquitoes or ticks, but their bites cause significant itching, swelling, and allergic reactions in many people. The bigger health concern is chronic sleep deprivation and anxiety from constant worry about being bitten while you rest.
Children and elderly family members often have stronger reactions to bed bug bites, with more severe swelling and longer-lasting welts. Secondary skin infections can occur from scratching bites, especially during Swartz Creek’s humid summer months when bacteria spreads more easily.
The psychological stress of bed bug infestations often causes more health problems than the actual bites – including insomnia, anxiety, and depression from feeling like your home isn’t safe. Professional elimination restores both physical comfort and mental peace of mind for your entire family.
Inspect hotel rooms carefully when traveling – bed bugs spread primarily through luggage and clothing from infested accommodations. Check mattress seams, headboards, and upholstered furniture for dark stains, shed skins, or live bugs before unpacking your belongings.
Wash all travel clothes in hot water (at least 120°F) immediately when returning to Swartz Creek, and dry them on high heat for 30-45 minutes. Store luggage in your garage or basement rather than bedrooms until you can inspect and clean it thoroughly.
Be extremely cautious with secondhand furniture, especially mattresses, box springs, and upholstered items from unknown sources. Our follow-up monitoring service helps catch any new introductions before they become established breeding populations. We also provide ongoing prevention tips specific to your home’s particular risk factors and neighborhood conditions.
