You wake up without mysterious bites covering your arms and legs. Your kids sleep through the night instead of scratching and complaining about itchy welts. No more embarrassing explanations to guests about why they shouldn’t sit on certain furniture.
That’s what happens when bed bug problems get solved correctly the first time. No more wondering if those dark spots on your sheets are blood stains from feeding bed bugs. No more pulling your mattress apart looking for signs of an infestation you can’t quite confirm.
Professional bed bug control means you get your peace of mind back along with your comfortable home. You stop losing sleep over creatures that turn your bedroom into a feeding ground, and you stop avoiding the spaces that should feel most safe.
We’ve been protecting Lake Fenton families since 2005, and we understand exactly what residents in Genesee County face when bed bugs invade their homes. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on experience to every job, not just textbook knowledge.
We’re one of fewer than 100 companies in the entire United States offering canine bed bug detection services. This isn’t a gimmick—it’s precision technology that identifies infestations with over 95% accuracy, something visual inspections simply can’t match.
Lake Fenton’s location means dealing with bed bugs that travel easily between properties, especially in multi-unit buildings and neighborhoods with shared walls. We’ve seen how quickly these pests spread when they’re not caught early, which is why our detection dogs can pinpoint even single live bugs before they multiply into a full-scale problem.
First, we bring in our specially trained detection dog to conduct a thorough inspection of your entire property. The dog identifies exactly where live bed bugs are hiding—not just old evidence that might be from dead bugs. This takes minutes, not hours, and gives you definitive answers about what you’re actually dealing with.
Next, we develop your customized treatment plan based on the inspection findings. Maybe you need targeted spot treatments for early-stage infestations, or comprehensive whole-home treatment if the problem has spread. Every situation gets the right approach, not a one-size-fits-all spray routine.
Treatment begins immediately using methods proven effective against Michigan’s bed bug populations. We use integrated pest management techniques that eliminate bed bugs at all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults. Your assigned technician explains exactly what they’re doing and why, so you understand the process every step of the way.
Follow-up inspections confirm the treatment worked and catch any potential issues before they become problems again. We don’t just treat and disappear—we make sure the job gets done right.

Our trained detection dogs achieve over 95% accuracy in identifying live bed bugs and viable eggs, while human visual inspections typically achieve only 30-40% accuracy. The difference comes down to a dog’s incredible sense of smell—they have over 220 million olfactory receptors compared to humans’ 6 million.
Visual inspections often miss early-stage infestations because bed bugs are experts at hiding in places humans don’t think to look. They squeeze into cracks thinner than a credit card, hide behind electrical outlets, and nest inside furniture joints that require complete disassembly to access. Dogs can detect the scent of even a single live bug or viable egg from these hidden locations.
This accuracy matters because catching infestations early saves you thousands in treatment costs and prevents the psychological stress of dealing with a full-scale bed bug problem. Our dogs can also confirm when treatment has been successful, giving you definitive proof that your home is bed bug-free.
Bed bugs have developed resistance to many common pesticides, making over-the-counter treatments largely ineffective. Michigan bed bug populations have shown particularly high resistance levels, meaning products that might work elsewhere often fail completely here. DIY treatments typically achieve less than 30% success rates.
These pests are also incredibly skilled at hiding and can survive for months without feeding. They hide in locations most people never think to check—inside electrical outlets, behind baseboards, in the seams of curtains, even inside alarm clocks and picture frames. A single missed hiding spot means the entire infestation can rebuild within weeks.
Professional treatment uses commercial-grade products unavailable to consumers, applied by technicians who understand bed bug biology and behavior. We know where they hide, how they spread, and what it takes to eliminate them at all life stages. The integrated approach addresses both current infestations and prevents future problems, something DIY methods simply can’t accomplish.
Initial treatment typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your property size and infestation level. Our canine inspection happens first and usually takes 15-30 minutes to identify all affected areas. This precision targeting means we can focus treatment efforts where they’ll be most effective.
Most customers notice a significant reduction in bed bug activity within 48-72 hours after treatment. However, you might continue seeing some bed bugs for up to two weeks as eggs hatch and remaining bugs emerge from deep hiding spots to contact treated surfaces. This is normal and actually indicates the treatment is working.
Complete elimination usually requires 2-3 follow-up visits spaced 2-3 weeks apart. This timing aligns with bed bug development cycles and ensures we catch any newly hatched bugs before they can reproduce. We schedule follow-up inspections to confirm success and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. The goal is complete elimination, not just temporary reduction.
Preparation requirements depend on your specific treatment plan, but generally involve washing and drying all clothing, bedding, and fabric items on high heat for at least 40 minutes. This kills any bed bugs or eggs in these items. Place cleaned items in sealed plastic bags until treatment is complete to prevent recontamination.
Remove or cover sensitive items like electronics, artwork, and medications from treatment areas. We’ll provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your situation, but don’t worry about extensive furniture moving—our technicians handle most of the heavy work and know how to access bed bug hiding spots efficiently.
You’ll need to be out of treated areas for 4-6 hours after application to allow products to dry and settle. Pets should also be removed during this time. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine and can often schedule treatments when you’re at work or have other plans. The preparation might seem extensive, but it’s essential for treatment success and your family’s safety.
Yes, when applied by trained professionals using proper techniques and products. We use integrated pest management methods that prioritize safety while achieving complete bed bug elimination. Our technicians are trained in proper application techniques and use products specifically designed for residential environments.
Modern bed bug control products have much lower toxicity levels than older pesticides while being more effective against resistant bed bug populations. We apply treatments in targeted areas where bed bugs hide rather than broadcasting chemicals throughout your entire home. This precision approach maximizes effectiveness while minimizing exposure.
You and your pets will need to stay out of treated areas for 4-6 hours after application, but once products have dried, treated areas are safe for normal use. We provide detailed post-treatment instructions and are always available to answer safety questions. Our 20 years of experience includes extensive safety training and we maintain all required certifications for pesticide application in Michigan.
Treatment costs vary based on property size, infestation level, and treatment complexity, but most Lake Fenton homes range from $800-2,500 for complete elimination. Early-stage infestations caught by our canine detection service cost significantly less than full-scale infestations that have spread throughout multiple rooms.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll know exactly what the treatment will cost before we begin work. We also offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates and provide discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders as our way of supporting the Lake Fenton community.
The investment pays for itself when you consider the alternative costs—replacing infested furniture, temporary housing during extensive treatments, medical bills for bite reactions, and the psychological stress of living with bed bugs. Professional treatment eliminates these ongoing expenses and gets your life back to normal quickly. We also offer payment plans for larger treatments to make professional bed bug control accessible for every budget.
