Why do DIY bed bug treatments usually fail?

Bed bug foggers and over-the-counter sprays miss 70% of hiding spots where bed bugs actually live. These products only kill bugs they directly contact—missing eggs and bugs hiding deep in mattress seams, wall cracks, and electrical outlets.Bed bugs have developed resistance to many common pesticides available to consumers. They’re expert hiders that scatter when they detect danger, spreading the infestation to new areas of your home.Professional treatment combines multiple methods—canine detection finds every hiding spot, heat penetrates everywhere bugs can hide, and targeted applications use commercial-grade products bed bugs can’t resist. We eliminate the entire population, including eggs that hatch weeks later.

How quickly can you eliminate my bed bug problem?

Heat treatment eliminates bed bugs in a single day—we raise temperatures to 145°F and maintain that heat for several hours, killing every bed bug and egg instantly. You can sleep in your own bed that same night.Chemical treatments typically require 2-3 visits spaced 10-14 days apart to catch newly hatched bugs. Our canine detection speeds up the process by pinpointing exactly where to focus treatment efforts.Emergency service is available for severe infestations—we can often schedule same-day or next-day treatment. Early detection is crucial because bed bugs double their population every 16 days. The sooner we treat, the faster you get back to peaceful sleep.

Our dogs are trained and certified annually, working only with live bed bug scent—never alerting to old, dead bugs or other insects. This prevents expensive false positives and unnecessary treatments.
