You’ll wake up without mysterious red welts covering your arms and legs. No more tossing sheets in the dryer every morning or wondering if those dark spots on your mattress are what you think they are.
Your home becomes yours again. You can have guests over without worrying about them taking unwanted hitchhikers back to their place. You stop checking every hotel room like a detective before setting down your luggage.
The psychological weight lifts off your shoulders. That constant feeling of something crawling on you disappears, and you can actually relax in your own bedroom again.
We’ve been protecting Shiawassee County homes and businesses since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and he’s one of the few exterminators in Michigan with trained bed bug detection dogs.
We’re one of under 100 companies in the United States offering canine bed bug detection services. While other companies guess where bed bugs might be hiding, our dogs pinpoint exactly where they are with 98% accuracy.
You get the same technician every visit. No explaining your situation to a different person each time or wondering if the new guy understands your property’s unique challenges.
We start with a thorough canine inspection of your entire property. Our trained detection dogs can smell live bed bugs and viable eggs through mattresses, inside furniture, and behind walls where human inspectors miss them completely.
Once we’ve mapped out exactly where the infestation exists, we develop a targeted treatment plan. We use a combination of proven methods including heat treatments, residual insecticides, and specialized products that bed bugs can’t develop resistance to.
You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start. We walk you through the preparation steps, explain the timeline, and make sure you understand what happens next. Most treatments require a follow-up visit to ensure complete elimination, and we guarantee our work.

Michigan ranks among the top states for bed bug problems, with Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Flint all making national “worst cities” lists. Shiawassee County sits right in the middle of this bed bug hotspot, making professional detection and treatment essential.
Our canine detection service sets us apart from every other pest control company in the area. While human inspectors only catch about 30% of bed bug infestations on the first try, our dogs achieve 98% accuracy rates. This means we find problems early, before they spread throughout your home or business.
You get personalized treatment programs based on your specific situation. We’re not showing up with a one-size-fits-all approach that might work for some properties but fails on yours. Every infestation is different, and our treatment reflects that reality.
Trained bed bug detection dogs achieve 95-98% accuracy rates, while human visual inspections typically only catch about 30-40% of infestations. Our dogs can detect live bed bugs and viable eggs through mattresses, inside furniture, and behind walls where visual inspections completely miss them.
The dogs smell the specific scent compounds that bed bugs and their eggs produce. They can pinpoint infestations the size of a single egg, which is about the size of a grain of salt. This early detection capability means we can eliminate problems before they become major infestations that require extensive treatment and higher costs.
Human inspectors have to physically see evidence like blood spots, fecal stains, or the bugs themselves. Since bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices during daylight hours, visual inspections often miss active infestations until they’ve grown large enough to leave obvious signs throughout the room.
The process starts with a complete canine inspection to map exactly where bed bugs are located in your home or business. We’ll walk through the findings with you and explain which areas need treatment and why.
Before treatment day, you’ll need to prepare the affected areas by washing and drying all clothing and linens on high heat, removing items from drawers and closets, and following our specific preparation checklist. We provide detailed instructions so you know exactly what needs to be done.
Treatment typically involves a combination of methods including targeted insecticide applications, heat treatment in some cases, and residual products that continue working for weeks after application. You’ll need to stay out of treated areas for several hours, and we’ll schedule a follow-up inspection to ensure complete elimination. Most bed bug treatments require 2-3 visits to achieve 100% elimination.
Complete elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks and requires multiple treatment visits. The timeline depends on the size and severity of the infestation, how long it’s been established, and how well the preparation steps are followed.
Our initial treatment targets adult bed bugs and nymphs, but some eggs may survive the first application. That’s why we schedule follow-up visits 10-14 days later to catch any newly hatched bugs before they can reproduce. Bed bugs have a 21-day reproduction cycle, so our treatment schedule is designed to break that cycle completely.
Early detection through canine inspection significantly reduces treatment time. Small, localized infestations caught early might only require 2 visits, while established infestations that have spread to multiple rooms typically need 3-4 visits. We guarantee our work, so if you see any bed bug activity after our treatment protocol is complete, we’ll return at no charge.
Traditional bed bug treatments using pyrethroid insecticides have become less effective because bed bugs have developed resistance to these chemicals over the past 20 years. That’s why we use a multi-modal approach that includes products bed bugs cannot develop resistance to.
We use bio-based products including fungal spores that attack bed bugs’ immune systems. Bed bugs cannot develop genetic resistance to these biological agents the way they can with chemical pesticides. We also incorporate heat treatments when appropriate, since bed bugs cannot develop resistance to lethal temperatures.
Our treatment protocol combines multiple active ingredients with different modes of action. Even if some bed bugs in a population have resistance to one component, they cannot survive the complete treatment program. This approach ensures elimination even in populations that have survived other pest control attempts.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty on all bed bug treatments. If you see any bed bug activity after our complete treatment protocol is finished, we’ll return to retreat the affected areas at no additional charge.
Our warranty covers the specific areas that were treated during the original service. The length of the warranty depends on the treatment method used and the severity of the original infestation, but typically ranges from 30-90 days after the final treatment visit.
The warranty requires that you follow all preparation instructions and don’t introduce new bed bugs through infested furniture or luggage. We’ll walk you through prevention strategies to help ensure the problem doesn’t return. Our goal is complete elimination, and we stand behind our work until you’re completely satisfied with the results.
The biggest difference is our canine detection capability. We’re one of under 100 companies in the United States with trained bed bug detection dogs. While other companies guess where bed bugs might be hiding, our dogs tell us exactly where they are with 98% accuracy.
You also get the same experienced technician for every visit. Most pest control companies send whoever’s available, so you end up explaining your situation to different people each time. Your technician learns your property’s specific challenges and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your situation.
We’ve been family-owned and serving this area for 20 years. Roger has 26 years of hands-on experience and stays current with the latest bed bug research and treatment methods. We offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates, senior and veteran discounts, and we don’t lock you into binding contracts. You stay in control of your pest control program.
