Hear from Our Customers
You’ll sleep through the night without waking up to new bite marks. Your kids can play in their rooms without worry. That constant anxiety about what’s crawling in your mattress disappears completely.
No more checking sheets before bed or washing everything in scalding water daily. The psychological stress that comes with bed bugs – that feeling like your own home isn’t safe anymore – gets replaced with genuine peace of mind.
Your property value stays protected too. Bed bugs don’t just affect your family’s comfort and health. They can damage your home’s reputation and resale value if left untreated, especially in a close-knit community like Elsie where word travels fast.
We’ve been protecting Elsie families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the United States offering canine bed bug detection.
Awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor back up what our customers already know. We show up when we say we will, we do what we promise, and we don’t disappear when you need us most.
Living in Elsie means dealing with Michigan’s unique pest challenges. We understand how seasonal temperature changes affect pest behavior, which local conditions attract infestations, and exactly how to eliminate bed bugs before they spread throughout your home.
First, we inspect your entire property with our trained detection dogs. These dogs can find bed bugs at all life stages – even single eggs – with over 95% accuracy. Human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of bed bug infestations.
Next, we create your personalized treatment plan. Maybe you need heat treatment that raises room temperature to levels lethal to bed bugs. Maybe targeted chemical applications work better for your situation. Every approach gets customized to your specific infestation and family’s needs.
Treatment targets the source, not just what you can see. We eliminate current populations and create barriers that prevent reinfestations. Your same technician handles every visit, so they know your property’s trouble spots and can catch new issues before they become major problems.
Follow-up ensures the problem stays solved. We return to monitor treated areas and adjust strategies if needed. If bed bugs show up between scheduled visits, we come back at no extra charge.

Your bed bug control service covers complete property treatment using Michigan’s most advanced detection and elimination methods. We handle everything from initial inspection through final confirmation that your infestation is completely eliminated.
Elsie’s rural location and older housing stock create specific bed bug challenges. Many homes have multiple hiding spots in baseboards, furniture, and wall voids where bed bugs establish colonies. Our canine detection service pinpoints these hidden populations before they spread.
You get the same certified technician every visit – not whoever happens to be available that day. This consistency means faster identification of problems and more effective long-term protection. We also include price matching against reasonable competitors and offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders.
Heat treatment capability sets us apart from other pest control companies. This method eliminates bed bugs and their eggs without introducing chemicals into your home, making it the safest option for families with children or pets.
Bed bug treatment costs vary based on your home’s size and infestation severity. Most Elsie homeowners pay between $1,500 and $3,000 for complete elimination using heat treatment, which is the most effective method available.
Chemical treatments typically cost $500 to $1,500 per treatment but often require multiple visits. While heat treatment has a higher upfront cost, it usually eliminates the entire infestation in a single session, making it more cost-effective long-term.
We provide free estimates and upfront pricing with no hidden fees. We also offer price matching against reasonable competitors and payment plans for larger treatments. The investment protects your family’s health, your sleep quality, and your property value.
Heat treatment eliminates bed bugs immediately during the service, typically taking 6-8 hours to treat an entire home. You’ll see dead bed bugs right after treatment, and new bites should stop within 24-48 hours.
Chemical treatments work more gradually, with most bed bugs dying within 1-2 weeks of initial application. However, chemical methods often require 2-3 follow-up treatments spaced several weeks apart to catch newly hatched bed bugs.
Our canine detection dogs can confirm elimination within a few days of treatment. If any bed bugs survive or new ones appear, we return at no charge during your service period. Complete elimination means you can sleep peacefully without worrying about reinfestation.
Heat treatment requires you to leave your home for 6-8 hours while we raise interior temperatures to 120-140°F. You can return the same day once temperatures normalize, usually by evening.
Chemical treatments allow you to remain in most areas of your home during application. We treat one room at a time and provide specific instructions about which areas to avoid and for how long.
We schedule treatments at your convenience and provide detailed preparation instructions beforehand. This includes removing heat-sensitive items before heat treatment or temporarily relocating pets during chemical applications. Our goal is minimal disruption to your family’s routine while ensuring complete bed bug elimination.
Our trained detection dogs can find bed bugs with over 95% accuracy, including single eggs and early-stage infestations that human inspection misses. We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering this specialized service.
Traditional visual inspections only catch about 30% of bed bug infestations because these pests hide in mattress seams, furniture cracks, and wall voids during daylight hours. Dogs can detect the scent of live bed bugs, dead bed bugs, and their eggs in locations humans can’t access.
Early detection means simpler, less expensive treatment options. Finding a small infestation before it spreads throughout your home saves you thousands of dollars and weeks of disruption. This technology gives Elsie families a significant advantage in eliminating bed bugs quickly and completely.
Yes, we guarantee complete bed bug elimination during your service period. If bed bugs return after treatment, we come back at no charge to retreat affected areas until the problem is completely solved.
Our guarantee covers the specific areas we treated and assumes you follow our preparation and prevention recommendations. We use proven methods – heat treatment and targeted chemical applications – that have consistently high success rates when applied correctly.
Twenty years serving Michigan families has taught us that standing behind our work builds lasting relationships. We’re not interested in quick fixes that fail after a few weeks. Our goal is permanent elimination that lets you sleep peacefully and trust that your home is truly bed bug-free.
Preparation depends on your treatment method. For heat treatment, remove heat-sensitive items like medications, candles, and electronics from treatment areas. We provide a detailed checklist during your inspection.
For chemical treatments, wash all bedding and clothing in hot water, then dry on high heat for 30 minutes. Vacuum thoroughly and dispose of vacuum contents in sealed bags. Clear access to baseboards, furniture, and other areas where bed bugs typically hide.
We handle most preparation steps during our service visit, but your cooperation ensures faster, more effective treatment. Our technician explains exactly what needs to be done and helps you understand why each step matters for successful bed bug elimination.
