No more jumping at every sound in the walls at night. No more wondering if those bites mean thousands more bed bugs are coming. No more avoiding your own bedroom because of the stress.
When bed bug problems get handled right the first time, you sleep soundly knowing your family is protected. Your home becomes the safe haven it should be, not a source of constant worry about what’s hiding in the mattress seams or behind the headboard.
You save money on repeated treatments and avoid the psychological stress that comes with wondering if the problem is really solved. With effective bed bug control in Bancroft, your family gets back to focusing on what actually matters in life.
We’ve been protecting Bancroft families since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, which means you’re getting someone who’s seen it all and knows exactly how to handle your specific bed bug situation.
We’re not some fly-by-night operation or national chain that sends different college kids to your house every time. You get the same experienced technician visit after visit, someone who learns your property’s unique challenges and adjusts treatments based on what works best for your situation.
We’ve earned awards from Angie’s List and Home Advisor because we do things differently. We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the United States offering canine bed bug detection, giving Bancroft residents access to technology typically only available in major metropolitan areas.
First, we inspect your property thoroughly to identify exactly what you’re dealing with and where the bed bugs are coming from. This isn’t a quick walkthrough – we’re looking for entry points, nesting areas, and conditions that attracted these pests to your home.
Next, we create a personalized treatment plan based on what we found, not some cookie-cutter approach. Different infestations need different solutions, and your property has unique factors that affect how we handle the problem.
We implement the treatment using proven methods and safe products, then monitor the results to make sure the problem is actually solved. If bed bugs return within our guarantee period, we come back at no charge because the job isn’t done until your home stays pest-free.

Michigan’s bed bug problem is getting worse. Three Michigan cities were ranked among the worst cities for bed bugs in 2024, with Detroit ranking among the top five bed bug infested cities for several years running. The Midwest is experiencing a major bed bug resurgence, and Bancroft homes are at risk.
Unlike warmer climates where bed bugs might struggle in winter, Michigan’s indoor heating creates perfect year-round conditions for these pests. They can survive temperatures below freezing for several days and can even survive short periods at temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bancroft properties face unique challenges. Bed bugs hitchhike home from hotels, movie theaters, and public transportation. Once they’re inside your home, they can become nearly impossible to get rid of on your own because they breed at such a rapid rate and hide in places you cannot reach.
Bed bug treatment costs in Michigan typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 for a complete, guaranteed treatment that’s safe for humans and pets. The exact cost depends on the size of your home, severity of the infestation, and treatment method used.
Heat treatment is highly effective and usually a one-time solution, costing between $1,000 to $3,000. Chemical treatments may require multiple visits but range from $500 to $1,500 per treatment. We offer price matching for reasonable competitor rates, so you get fair pricing without sacrificing the quality and expertise your family deserves.
Most bed bug problems see significant improvement within the first week, but complete elimination depends on the extent of the infestation. We don’t give false promises about overnight solutions because real pest control takes time to work properly, and rushing the process often means the problem comes back.
Our canine detection service can find bed bugs at all life stages with over 95% accuracy, while human visual inspection alone only catches about 30% of infestations. This means we can identify the full scope of the problem upfront and give you a realistic timeline during our initial inspection based on your specific situation.
Check for small brown or dark red spots on your bedding, which are blood stains from crushed bed bugs. Look for small groups of red, possibly itchy bites on your skin, especially on your upper body. You might also notice an awful sickly-sweet smell in the air if the infestation is large.
Inspect mattress seams, bed frames, and areas within 8 feet of your sleeping area. Bed bugs leave behind fecal matter that looks like tiny ink spots, and you might find discarded skins or eggshells. If you can actually see bed bugs moving around, your infestation is already beyond the self-controlling stage and needs professional treatment immediately.
DIY bed bug treatments rarely work because these pests are excellent at hiding and have developed resistance to many over-the-counter chemicals. They breed at such a rapid rate and hide in places you cannot reach that self-removal is almost impossible beyond a certain stage.
Common household remedies might kill one or two bed bugs at a time, but they actually make the problem worse by sending surviving bed bugs into hiding mode. All it takes is one missed bed bug capable of laying eggs, and the infestation starts all over again. Professional treatment addresses the entire population and their eggs, not just the bugs you can see.
Bed bugs are world-class hitchhikers that travel on luggage, clothing, purses, and personal belongings. They jump onto your luggage while it sits on hotel beds or floors, then ride home with you. They can also enter through visiting friends or family members who have infestations.
Unlike other pests that are drawn to food or messes, bed bugs only need human blood to survive. They can be found anywhere people gather – movie theaters, public transportation, hospitals, and office buildings. Once they make it into your home, they quickly establish colonies in mattresses, furniture, and wall cracks where they’re nearly impossible to eliminate without professional help.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the United States offering canine bed bug detection, which finds infestations with over 95% accuracy compared to 30% for visual inspections alone. You get the same experienced technician every visit, not rotating college students who don’t know your property.
Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, and we’ve been protecting Michigan families since 2005. We offer price matching, discounts for seniors and veterans, and free callbacks if bed bugs return between visits. Our integrated pest management approach targets root causes, not just symptoms, so problems stay solved.
