Hear from Our Customers
You wake up without mysterious bites covering your arms. Your kids sleep through the night without scratching. That constant anxiety about what’s crawling in your mattress disappears completely.
No more embarrassment when guests notice the telltale signs. No more throwing away furniture or wondering if every hotel room is infested. Your home becomes the sanctuary it should be.
With our heat treatment and canine detection, bed bugs die at every life stage in one visit. You get back to focusing on what matters instead of battling creatures that don’t belong in your space.
We’ve protected Metamora families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every bed bug problem, building our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection. While other exterminators guess where bed bugs hide, our trained dogs pinpoint exact locations with 95-98% accuracy.
You get the same certified technician every visit who knows your property and takes responsibility for results. No rotating college students or part-time workers explaining your situation repeatedly.
First, our canine detection team inspects your property. The dogs identify every area where live bed bugs are active, including spots human technicians typically miss completely.
Next, we create your customized treatment plan. Heat treatment raises temperatures to 140+ degrees, killing bed bugs, nymphs, and eggs simultaneously. Chemical applications target specific hiding spots our dogs identified.
Finally, we follow up to ensure complete elimination. Your same technician returns to verify treatment success and provide prevention guidance so you avoid future infestations.

Your bed bug control service includes canine detection, customized treatment, follow-up visits, and prevention education. We use integrated pest management techniques that address root causes, not just surface symptoms.
Metamora residents face unique challenges with bed bugs. Michigan ranks among the worst states for bed bug infestations, and Lapeer County’s proximity to major travel routes increases risk. Summer months bring peak activity as temperatures create ideal breeding conditions.
Our heat treatment is safe for furniture, electronics, and clothing. Unlike chemical treatments that might stain or leave residues, heat leaves no trace while eliminating 100% of the infestation. Most items remain in place during treatment.
Our trained detection dogs achieve 95-98% accuracy rates, while visual inspections by human technicians only reach 30-50% accuracy. Dogs can smell bed bugs through mattresses, inside furniture, and in wall crevices where visual inspections fail.
The dogs detect live bed bugs and viable eggs using scent, not just evidence like blood spots or shed skins. This means we find active infestations, not just traces from dead bugs that might mislead treatment decisions.
Our canine teams are certified through the National Entomology Scent Detection Canine Association using the same training methods as bomb-detection dogs. They can search an entire room in 2-3 minutes with extreme precision.
Store-bought bed bug sprays only kill bugs on direct contact, driving survivors deeper into hiding or into new areas of your home. Bed bug bombs and foggers are particularly ineffective because they can’t penetrate tight spaces where bed bugs actually live.
Female bed bugs lay 1-3 eggs daily, up to 500 in their lifetime. These eggs are incredibly small and sticky, adhering to surfaces where sprays often can’t reach them. Even if you kill all adult bugs, missed eggs will hatch and restart the cycle.
Michigan bed bug populations also show resistance to many common pesticides available to consumers. Professional treatments use commercial-grade products and application methods that overcome this resistance while targeting all life stages systematically.
We offer same-day service for bed bug emergencies in the Metamora area because we understand that bed bugs reproduce rapidly and cause significant stress for families. Each hour of delay means more breeding and expanding populations.
Early intervention saves time and money. The longer bed bugs establish themselves and spread throughout your home, the more challenging and expensive treatment becomes. We maintain equipment and scheduling specifically for urgent situations.
Most bed bug treatments can begin the same day we complete our canine inspection, provided you approve the treatment plan. We carry professional-grade equipment and maintain inventory to handle emergency calls without delays.
Inspect luggage carefully when returning from travel, especially hotel stays. Check mattress seams, headboards, and upholstered chairs in hotel rooms before settling in. Keep luggage in bathrooms or hard-surface areas rather than on beds or carpeted floors.
Avoid picking up used mattresses or secondhand upholstered furniture because it’s nearly impossible to see whether they harbor bed bugs. Other used furniture must be inspected thoroughly and cleaned with soapy water before bringing it home.
Be cautious with visitors’ belongings, especially if they’ve recently traveled or dealt with bed bug problems themselves. Bed bugs spread easily through clothing, bags, and personal items without people realizing they’re carrying them.
Professional heat treatment is safe for most household items including furniture, electronics, mattresses, and clothing. The temperatures we use (140+ degrees) are well below damage thresholds for these materials when applied by trained professionals.
Certain items need temporary removal before treatment: candles, crayons, aerosol cans, vinyl records, and some medications. Your technician provides a complete preparation checklist before the appointment so you know exactly what to do.
Heat treatment leaves no chemical residues or odors, making it ideal for families with children, pets, or chemical sensitivities. Your belongings emerge clean and bed bug-free without any exposure concerns or lingering effects.
Heat treatments provide immediate results, killing bed bugs and eggs on contact when temperatures reach the lethal threshold. You’ll see dead bugs immediately after treatment, and the entire infestation is eliminated in one session.
Chemical treatments may take several days to weeks for full effectiveness, as bugs need to come into contact with treated surfaces. However, you should notice significant reduction in activity within the first week after professional application.
Our treatment comes with a service guarantee. When performed correctly, heat treatment eliminates 100% of bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs that haven’t hatched yet. The treatment targets the entire infestation simultaneously, unlike methods that might miss hidden populations.
