Bed Bug Treatment Process Howell

Our Proven Three-Step Elimination Process

First, we conduct a thorough inspection using our certified canine detection team. Our dogs achieve 98% accuracy compared to 40% for human-only inspections, finding even small populations before they spread throughout your home.

Next, we implement targeted treatment based on your specific situation. Most cases receive our heat treatment protocol, which raises temperatures to levels that eliminate all life stages of bed bugs in furniture, mattresses, and hidden areas where chemicals can’t reach.

Finally, we provide follow-up monitoring and prevention guidance. Our technicians return to verify complete elimination and help you implement practices that prevent future infestations, especially important if you travel frequently or live in multi-unit housing.

Comprehensive Bed Bug Services Howell

Complete Protection Beyond Basic Treatment

Your bed bug control service includes canine detection, targeted treatment, follow-up verification, and ongoing prevention support. We don’t just eliminate current infestations – we help you avoid future problems.

Howell’s location in Livingston County means residents frequently travel to Detroit, Ann Arbor, and other metropolitan areas where bed bug exposure is common. Our service accounts for this reality, providing education about hotel inspection, luggage handling, and early detection signs.

We also understand that Howell’s mix of historic homes and modern developments creates different treatment challenges. Older homes may have more hiding spots, while newer apartments and condos can see rapid spread between units. Our approach adapts to your specific property type and risk factors.

Heat penetrates all areas simultaneously, killing bugs and eggs that chemicals can’t reach.The treatment process takes 6-8 hours depending on your home’s size and infestation level.
