We’ve been protecting Burt families from bed bug infestations since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, understanding exactly how bed bugs behave in Michigan’s unique climate.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection services. Our specially trained dogs achieve 96% accuracy in finding live bed bugs and viable eggs, even in the earliest stages of infestation.
You get the same experienced technician every visit who knows your property and builds a relationship with your family over time. No rotating strangers or part-time college students.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection using our trained detection dogs to locate every bed bug hiding spot. This includes mattress seams, furniture cracks, electrical outlets, and baseboards where visual inspections often miss early infestations.
Next, we eliminate the current population at its source using targeted treatments designed specifically for your infestation level. We don’t just treat symptoms – we cut off their access to food, water, and shelter completely.
Finally, we create a protective barrier and monitoring system to prevent re-infestation. Your technician returns as needed to ensure complete elimination and provides guidance on preventing future problems through proper maintenance and awareness.

Your bed bug control service includes comprehensive canine detection, customized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring to ensure complete elimination. We handle everything from single-room infestations to whole-house problems.
Burt’s location in Michigan means dealing with bed bugs that have adapted to survive harsh winters and can remain dormant for extended periods. Our local experience helps us understand seasonal patterns and the most effective treatment timing for permanent results.
You receive detailed explanations of our process, safety precautions for your family and pets, and clear guidance on preparing your home for treatment. We also offer emergency response for urgent situations and work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
The most reliable way to confirm bed bugs is finding live bugs, but early infestations are often missed by visual inspection alone. Look for small blood spots on sheets, dark stains along mattress seams, or bites that appear in lines or clusters on exposed skin.
Our canine detection service can identify bed bug presence even when populations are too small to see. The dogs smell pheromones that humans cannot detect, finding bugs hiding in electrical outlets, furniture cracks, and other areas where visual inspections fail.
Don’t rely solely on bites for confirmation – many people don’t react to bed bug bites, and other insects can cause similar marks. Professional detection gives you definitive answers and prevents wasted time treating the wrong pest problem.
Complete elimination typically requires 2-3 treatment visits spaced 2-3 weeks apart, depending on infestation severity and your home’s specific conditions. You’ll see significant reduction in activity within the first week, but eggs can continue hatching for up to 10 days after initial treatment.
The process takes time because bed bugs have multiple life stages that respond differently to treatments. Our approach targets adults, nymphs, and eggs systematically to break the reproduction cycle completely rather than just reducing visible populations temporarily.
Rushing the process or skipping follow-up visits often leads to re-infestation from surviving eggs or bugs that were in hiding during initial treatment. Patience with the full process ensures permanent elimination rather than temporary relief that fails after a few weeks.
Yes, bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers and will spread throughout your home if not addressed quickly. They travel on clothing, luggage, furniture, and personal belongings, establishing new colonies in any room where people sleep or rest regularly.
In apartments or multi-unit buildings, bed bugs can move through wall voids, electrical conduits, and plumbing penetrations to infest neighboring units. This is why early detection and professional treatment are critical – small problems become building-wide infestations rapidly.
Our treatment approach includes monitoring adjacent areas and sealing potential travel routes to prevent spread during the elimination process. We also provide guidance on isolating infested items and preventing accidental transport to clean areas of your home.
Most treatment failures happen because the approach only addresses visible bed bugs rather than the complete population including eggs and hidden colonies. Over-the-counter sprays and foggers often scatter bed bugs to new hiding spots, making the problem worse and harder to track.
Bed bugs have also developed resistance to many common pesticides, especially when treatments are applied incorrectly or at insufficient concentrations. DIY approaches rarely reach all the hiding spots where bed bugs actually live and reproduce throughout your home.
Our integrated approach combines multiple treatment methods, targets all life stages, and includes follow-up visits to catch any survivors before they can re-establish populations. We also seal entry points and eliminate conditions that allow bed bugs to thrive long-term.
Treatment costs vary based on infestation size, home layout, and severity level, but investing in professional elimination saves money compared to repeated DIY attempts that fail. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges and offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates.
Consider the true cost of bed bug problems: replacing infested furniture, lost sleep affecting work performance, potential health issues from bites, and the stress of dealing with ongoing infestations. Professional treatment eliminates these ongoing expenses permanently.
We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders as part of our commitment to the Burt community. Contact us for a detailed estimate based on your specific situation and property requirements.
Preparation requirements depend on your specific treatment plan, but generally include washing and drying all bedding and clothing on high heat, removing clutter from treatment areas, and providing access to all rooms and furniture that need inspection.
Don’t move items from infested rooms to clean areas, as this spreads bed bugs throughout your home. Instead, bag items in the affected room and follow our specific instructions for handling potentially infested belongings safely during treatment.
Your technician will provide a detailed preparation checklist tailored to your home’s layout and infestation level. Proper preparation ensures treatments reach all hiding spots and prevent accidental spread during the elimination process.
