Most DIY treatments push bed bugs deeper into hiding, creating a bigger problem later. Professional elimination finds every hiding spot, treats all life stages, and ensures they don’t return to terrorize your family.

Bed Bug Treatments Drayton Plains

Detection First, Then Complete Elimination

Our process starts with canine detection to locate exactly where bed bugs are hiding. Our trained dog detects live bugs and viable eggs in mattresses, furniture, wall cracks, and places visual inspections completely miss.

Treatment uses heat therapy, targeted chemical applications, or both depending on your infestation severity. Heat treatment kills all life stages instantly by raising temperatures to lethal levels throughout your home. Chemical treatments create lasting barriers preventing re-infestation.

We treat every identified hiding spot—mattresses, box springs, furniture joints, baseboards, electrical outlets, and wall voids. Follow-up canine inspections verify complete elimination before we consider your bed bug problem solved.

Advanced Technology, Proven Results

Your bed bug control service includes canine detection, comprehensive treatment of all affected areas, follow-up verification, and prevention education. We use integrated pest management techniques specifically effective against Michigan bed bug populations.

Drayton Plains residents deal with unique bed bug challenges. Multi-unit housing allows infestations to spread between units. Seasonal travel brings bed bugs home from hotels and vacation rentals. Our local experience means we understand these patterns and adjust treatment accordingly.

Treatment options include whole-room heat therapy that penetrates every hiding spot, residual chemical applications for long-term protection, and combination approaches for severe infestations. We explain each option clearly so you can make informed decisions about your family’s safety.

Visual signs include small blood spots on bedding, dark fecal stains on mattress seams, and red itchy bite marks that appear in lines or clusters on your skin. Heavy infestations often produce a sweet, musty smell in affected rooms.Use a flashlight to examine mattress tags and seams, behind headboards, in furniture cracks, and along baseboards. Adult bed bugs are about the size of apple seeds and range from brown to reddish after feeding.Our canine detection service removes all uncertainty. Our professionally trained dog can detect even small populations of live bugs that human inspections miss 70% of the time, giving you definitive answers before treatment starts.
Retail bug bombs and sprays only kill bed bugs they directly contact. Since bed bugs hide deep inside mattresses, furniture, and wall voids, most survive the initial treatment and continue reproducing.These products often scatter bed bugs to new hiding locations, making elimination more difficult later. Many bed bug populations have also developed resistance to common pesticides found in consumer products.Professional treatment uses commercial-grade products and application techniques that reach hidden populations. Heat treatment penetrates all hiding spots simultaneously, while targeted chemical applications create barriers bed bugs cannot avoid.
Heat treatment works immediately—all bed bug life stages die within hours of reaching lethal temperatures. You can typically return to treated rooms the same day once temperatures return to normal.Chemical treatments require 7-14 days for complete elimination as bed bugs gradually encounter treated surfaces. Some recently fed adults may survive several days before contacting lethal residues.Follow-up canine inspections occur 2-3 weeks after initial treatment to verify elimination success. We don’t consider the job complete until our detection dog confirms no live bugs remain.
Heat treatment uses no chemicals whatsoever—just controlled elevated temperatures that kill bed bugs while remaining completely safe for humans and pets. Treated rooms are usually ready for occupancy within hours.Chemical applications use EPA-registered products specifically approved for indoor residential use. We follow strict application protocols that minimize family exposure while maximizing effectiveness against bed bugs.Most treatments require temporary evacuation of 4-6 hours. We provide detailed safety instructions and re-entry guidelines. Our integrated approach prioritizes both complete elimination and your family’s wellbeing.
Wash all clothing and bedding in hot water (minimum 120°F) and dry on high heat for at least 30 minutes. Store clean items in sealed plastic bags until treatment is completely finished.Clear clutter from around beds and furniture to allow thorough treatment access. Vacuum all areas carefully but immediately dispose of vacuum bag contents in sealed containers—bed bugs can survive inside vacuum cleaners.Avoid moving items between rooms, which can spread the infestation to previously unaffected areas. We provide a comprehensive preparation checklist tailored to your specific treatment method and infestation severity.
Inspect all secondhand furniture thoroughly before bringing it into your home. When traveling, examine hotel room mattress seams and upholstered furniture before unpacking your luggage.Use hard-shell suitcases when possible and store luggage in hotel bathrooms rather than bedrooms. Wash and dry all travel clothing on high heat settings immediately after returning home.Regular monitoring helps detect new introductions early when they’re much easier to eliminate. Our follow-up services include prevention education and periodic inspections to maintain your bed bug-free environment long-term.
