You shouldn’t have to check your sheets before bed or wake up with mysterious bites covering your arms. When bed bugs invade your home, they don’t just bite – they steal your peace of mind and turn your bedroom into a source of anxiety.
Professional bed bug control eliminates the infestation completely, not just temporarily. You get your bedroom back as a place of rest, not stress. Your family sleeps through the night without worrying about what’s crawling on them.
Within 48 hours of treatment, you’ll notice the difference. No more finding blood spots on your pillowcase. No more waking up scratching. No more avoiding your own bed because you’re afraid of what might be hiding in the mattress seams.
We’ve served Linden residents since 2005. Roger brings 26 years of hands-on pest control experience to every job – not just book knowledge, but real expertise dealing with Michigan’s toughest pest problems.
We’re one of under 100 companies in the United States offering canine bed bug detection. Our trained dogs detect bed bugs and viable eggs with 96% accuracy, compared to only 30% accuracy from visual inspections alone.
Linden’s close-knit community of 4,150 residents deserves better than rotating technicians who don’t know your property. You get the same experienced professional every visit, someone who understands your specific situation and follows through on results.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection using our trained detection dogs. These dogs smell bed bug pheromones at concentrations humans cannot detect, even in tiny cracks and electrical outlets where visual inspections fail. This identifies the full scope of your infestation, including early-stage populations that haven’t spread throughout your home yet.
Next, we implement targeted treatment based on what we find. Heat treatment raises temperatures to levels lethal to bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs that resist chemical treatments. For severe infestations, we combine heat with strategic chemical applications to ensure complete elimination.
Finally, we monitor and verify results. Bed bug control isn’t a one-time spray and hope situation. We schedule follow-up inspections to confirm elimination and provide ongoing protection recommendations. If bed bugs return between visits, we come back at no additional charge until the problem is completely resolved.

Your bed bug treatment includes comprehensive interior and exterior inspection, canine detection services, targeted elimination using heat or chemical methods, and ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation. We don’t just treat visible bed bugs – we eliminate eggs and address the conditions that allowed the infestation to establish.
Linden’s housing stock includes many older homes where bed bugs easily hide in wall voids, electrical systems, and structural cracks that standard treatments miss. Our approach targets these hidden populations before they spread to other rooms or neighboring units.
Michigan’s climate creates specific challenges for bed bug control. Cold winters don’t eliminate indoor infestations, and bed bugs remain active year-round in heated homes. Our treatment methods account for these local conditions, ensuring complete elimination regardless of season. We also provide prevention education specific to common introduction sources in the Linden area, including travel, used furniture, and shared laundry facilities.
Most bed bug infestations require 2-3 treatment visits spaced 2-3 weeks apart for complete elimination. You’ll start seeing significant reduction in bed bug activity within 48-72 hours after the initial treatment, but eggs that weren’t eliminated in the first round will hatch over the following weeks.
Heat treatment can eliminate all life stages in a single visit when conditions allow, but follow-up inspections are still necessary to verify complete success. Chemical treatments typically require multiple applications because they don’t penetrate all hiding spots where eggs might survive.
The timeline depends on the size and severity of your infestation, the construction of your home, and how long the bed bugs have been established. Early detection through our canine services significantly reduces treatment time and cost compared to advanced infestations that have spread throughout multiple rooms.
Our trained detection dogs can smell bed bug pheromones at concentrations 1,000 times lower than humans can detect. They locate live bed bugs and viable eggs hidden in mattress seams, wall voids, electrical outlets, and furniture joints that visual inspections routinely miss.
Visual inspections alone only catch about 30% of bed bug infestations, especially in early stages when populations are small. Dogs achieve 96% accuracy and can detect even single bed bugs or small egg clusters before they develop into major infestations.
This early detection saves you money because smaller infestations require less extensive treatment. It also prevents the psychological stress of living with bed bugs for months while the population grows large enough for humans to notice. We’re among fewer than 100 pest control companies nationwide offering certified canine detection services.
We use both methods depending on your specific situation and preferences. Heat treatment raises room temperatures to 120-140°F for several hours, which kills bed bugs at all life stages including eggs. This method penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture, and wall voids where bed bugs hide.
Chemical treatments use targeted applications of professional-grade insecticides that aren’t available to consumers. We apply these products to cracks, crevices, and bed bug harborage areas while minimizing exposure to areas where your family spends time.
Many infestations require a combination approach. Heat treatment provides immediate knockdown of the existing population, while residual chemical treatments prevent re-infestation from any surviving bed bugs or eggs. Your technician will recommend the most effective approach based on the inspection findings and your family’s specific needs and concerns.
Bed bug treatment costs vary based on the size of your home, severity of infestation, and treatment methods required. Most Linden homes require $800-2,500 for complete elimination, which includes initial inspection, treatment applications, and follow-up visits.
Early detection through our canine services significantly reduces costs because small infestations require less extensive treatment than advanced cases that have spread throughout multiple rooms. Waiting until you can see bed bugs crawling often means the infestation has been growing for months.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden charges and offer price matching against reasonable competitor rates. Payment plans are available for larger treatments, and we offer discounts for seniors, veterans, and first responders. The investment in professional treatment is significantly less than replacing infested furniture or dealing with ongoing health impacts from persistent infestations.
Yes, bed bugs spread easily within homes through wall voids, electrical systems, and by hitchhiking on clothing, luggage, and furniture. They typically start in bedrooms but quickly move to living rooms, closets, and any area where people spend time resting.
In multi-unit buildings like apartments or condos, bed bugs can travel between units through shared walls, plumbing chases, and electrical conduits. This is less common in single-family homes but can still occur in attached housing or when infested items are shared between neighbors.
Early professional treatment prevents spread and protects both your family and your neighbors. Our comprehensive approach includes treating potential spread routes and educating you on prevention measures to avoid re-introduction. We also coordinate with property managers in multi-unit situations to ensure complete elimination across all affected areas.
Preparation requirements depend on the treatment method we’re using. For heat treatment, you’ll need to remove heat-sensitive items like candles, medications, and electronics from treatment areas. We provide a detailed preparation checklist specific to your situation.
For chemical treatments, minimal preparation is usually required. We may ask you to vacuum carpets and wash bedding in hot water before treatment, but extensive furniture moving isn’t necessary. We handle most of the preparation work.
Don’t throw away infested mattresses or furniture before treatment unless they’re severely damaged. Many items can be successfully treated and saved, which reduces your replacement costs. We’ll assess each item during the inspection and recommend which can be treated versus which should be discarded. Proper preparation ensures maximum treatment effectiveness and faster elimination of your bed bug problem.
