We’ve been protecting Howell, MI families from bed bugs since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, with the same skilled technicians returning to your property year after year—never part-time college students with spray bottles.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies nationwide offering canine bed bug detection services. This isn’t just another pest control company. We’re your neighbors, with deep roots in Livingston County and a reputation built on results, not promises.
We know Howell’s unique challenges, from historic homes downtown to newer developments. When Livingston County residents travel frequently to Detroit and Ann Arbor for work, we understand the increased bed bug exposure risk and provide education to prevent future problems.
First, we conduct 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 Howell, MI home. This precision means we catch problems early and treat exactly what needs attention.
Next, we implement targeted bed bug 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. The entire process typically takes 6-8 hours while you’re away from home.
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 where bed bugs move between units.

Heat treatment has become the gold standard for professional bed bug exterminator services because it addresses the fundamental problem with chemical treatments: bed bugs have developed resistance. Modern bed bugs survive more than 1,000 times the pesticide amount that was lethal just 10 years ago.
Our heat treatment raises your home’s temperature to 140°F for the time needed to eliminate all life stages, including eggs that chemical treatments often miss. The heat penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture, and wall voids where bed bugs hide during the day, ensuring complete elimination in a single visit.
This is especially valuable in Howell, MI, where our mix of historic homes and modern developments creates different hiding opportunities. Older homes may have more crevices and hiding spots, while newer apartments can see rapid spread between units. Heat treatment addresses both scenarios effectively, reaching areas that sprays and dusts simply cannot penetrate.
Most professional bed bug control treatments show immediate results, with complete elimination typically achieved in one visit using our heat treatment method. You’ll stop seeing live bed bugs within 24-48 hours of treatment.
Heat treatment reaches lethal temperatures throughout your home, killing all life stages including eggs that other methods often miss. Unlike chemical treatments that can take weeks and multiple visits, heat treatment provides fast, comprehensive results that get your life back to normal quickly.
The speed is especially important for Howell, MI families who may have been dealing with sleepless nights and bite marks for weeks or months before calling for professional bed bug pest control help. You don’t have time to waste on treatments that only work partially.
Our certified canine detection team achieves 98% accuracy compared to just 40% for human-only inspections. Dogs can detect bed bug scent even when populations are small and hiding in areas that humans typically miss during visual searches.
This precision means we find problems early, before they spread throughout your entire Howell, MI home. Early detection also means less expensive treatment and faster resolution, since we’re dealing with smaller populations rather than full-blown infestations that require extensive treatment.
For Howell residents, this accuracy is crucial because bed bugs often hide in areas specific to your home’s age and construction. Our dogs find them regardless of whether you live in a historic downtown home or a newer development. They can detect bed bugs behind electrical outlets, inside furniture joints, and other spots that even experienced bed bug exterminators might miss during visual inspections.
Heat treatment is one of the safest bed bug elimination methods available, using no chemicals that could affect your family’s health. The process uses controlled heat to reach lethal temperatures for bed bugs while protecting your belongings and home structure.
You’ll need to leave your Howell, MI home during the 6-8 hour treatment process, along with pets, because the temperatures required (140°F) aren’t comfortable for people during active treatment. We provide detailed preparation instructions, including which heat-sensitive items to remove beforehand.
Most belongings, including electronics, furniture, and clothing, are completely safe during heat treatment. This means you keep your expensive mattresses, furniture, and personal items instead of throwing them away like many families do when trying DIY solutions. The treatment won’t damage your home’s structure or leave any chemical residues behind.
Bed bug treatment costs vary based on your home’s size, infestation level, and treatment method required. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees and offer price matching for reasonable competitor quotes from other professional bed bug pest control companies.
Our heat treatment investment typically costs less than multiple chemical treatments when you factor in the guaranteed results and faster resolution. Many customers find the single-visit approach more cost-effective than drawn-out treatment programs that require multiple visits over weeks or months.
We also offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders as our way of giving back to the Howell, MI community. Contact us for a free inspection and detailed quote specific to your situation. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start any work.
Howell’s location in Livingston County means residents frequently travel to Detroit, Ann Arbor, and other metropolitan areas for work, increasing exposure to bed bugs in hotels, public transportation, and office buildings.

Our bed bug pest control service accounts for this reality, providing education about hotel inspection, luggage handling, and early detection signs that help prevent bringing bed bugs home from business trips or vacations. We know the travel patterns of Howell residents and tailor our prevention advice accordingly.
We also understand that Howell’s mix of historic homes and modern developments creates different challenges. Older homes may have more hiding spots for bed bugs, while newer apartments and condos can see rapid spread between units through shared walls and utility connections. Our professional bed bug exterminator approach adapts to these local factors.
The heat treatment process typically takes 6-8 hours while you and your pets stay away from your Howell, MI home. We’ll provide detailed preparation instructions beforehand, including removing heat-sensitive items like wax candles, aerosol cans, and certain medications.
