Bed Bug Control Swartz Creek MI

No, you rarely need to discard furniture or mattresses with professional treatment. Bed bugs can be eliminated from these items using targeted treatments and proper preparation. Throwing away infested items often spreads bugs to other areas of your home during removal, and buying new furniture doesn't solve the problem if bugs remain in other hiding spots. We'll advise you on specific items that may need disposal, but most furniture can be successfully treated and kept. Save your money and let us eliminate the bugs from your existing belongings.

Yes, our integrated pest management approach prioritizes safety while maintaining effectiveness. We use EPA-approved products applied according to strict safety protocols. During treatment, family members and pets need to vacate treated areas for a specified time period, usually 2-4 hours depending on the products used. Once areas are dry and ventilated, they're safe for normal use. We provide detailed safety instructions before treatment and can adjust our approach if you have specific health concerns or sensitivities in your household.

Treatment cost depends on your home's size, infestation severity, and number of affected rooms. Most residential treatments range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars, but this eliminates the problem completely rather than providing temporary relief. We offer free estimates and price matching against reasonable competitor quotes. Consider that failed DIY attempts often cost $200-400 in wasted products, plus the ongoing cost of sleepless nights and potential property damage. Professional treatment is actually more cost-effective when you factor in guaranteed results and warranty coverage.

Bed bugs can return if you're re-exposed through travel, visitors, or used furniture, but they won't survive from the original infestation when properly treated. Our treatments eliminate all bugs and eggs present during service, and we provide warranty coverage if any survive the initial treatment process. New infestations are different from treatment failure - we'll help you identify the source and provide guidance on prevention. Most customers never see bed bugs again after our service, but we're here if you need follow-up support or have questions about suspicious activity.

Common signs include small blood stains on sheets, dark spots on mattresses (bed bug feces), sweet musty odor in heavily infested rooms, and small red bite marks on your body, especially arms and shoulders. However, many other pests cause similar symptoms, which is why professional identification is important before starting treatment. Our canine detection service provides the most accurate identification available - our trained dogs can detect even small populations that visual inspections might miss. We'll confirm the pest type during our inspection so you're treating the right problem with the right approach.
